As mentioned in last weeks postings there is the option to have a practice run for Reliability Ride 1 this week, which is on 5th February.
Unless there are any major objections we will be setting off at 9:30am for the 50 mile ride finishing at Hannah's Diner for a coffee stop before the 8ish mile stroll back to Bridgend via the A48 from Cowbridge. Little bit longer than normal if you do the whole route but as it is essentially two laps there is the option to turn off if time doesn't allow for anyone. The routes are on the main website but for ease please find the Strava route at the bottom. The route is as follows;
Brackla - Bridgend - Laleston - Ewenny - Post Office Hill - Wick - Llantwit Major - Cowbridge - Ystrad Owen - Pontyclun - A473 Llanharan - Bryncae - Pencoed - Coychurch - Ewenny - Post Office Hill then repeat to Cowbridge. On the second lap climb Primrose Hill to Hannah's Diner.
Keep an eye on the weather.
See you Sunday
Nick
