Chasers Club Ride 14 May
« on: May 13, 2017, 10:27:44 AM »
It's a SW wind tomorrow so let's head out West?
Just a suggestion - out to Porthcawl then on to Margam and Taibach, up the Afan Valley to Pontrhydyfen and across to Cimla and Neath. Up the Neath Valley through Tonna to Resolven and back  the other side of the Valley and home the quickest way through Briton Ferry, Harbour Way and Pyle with a cafe stop at Cafe Remos? 55 miles-ish at a guess so should be home by 1 including the stop.

8 chasers out this morning including guest Rob Hunt who was hoping to ride with Harpo but wasn't aware of the pacers early start, lucky escape.
We followed the suggested route, it was blustery all the way out to Resolven and back to Aberavon and it was only from Aberavon home we felt the benefit of the wind on our backs. Enjoyable ride, good company and good cafe stop at Cafe Remos and the traditional blast down Harbour Way. I was a little bit off with my estimate of the mileage and we finished off with a good 63 miles. Strong turns on the front from Rob and James.
Out today were;
Rob
Richard B
Richard L
James
Ross
Lee S
G (for Graham not Geraint)
