The re-arranged Sunday ride comprised Harpo, Paul R, Steve Chapman, Gregg, Adrian Kerrigan and me. Cool start - arm-warmers and a few gilets in evidence, but the sun shone and the rain stayed away. First section flat but into the wind ridden at a sensible pace - quite exposed to he breeze round Port Talbot. Cima taken at a brisk pace - I was after a PB so shot up the road with Steve C in pursuit - the two of us crested the top together. Re-grouped at Pontrhydyfen, and I went segment chasing again up the Bwlch. Quite cool on top - fast descent to Nantymoel - none faster than Adrian (including the two cars he overtook on the way down
). Fast pace then to Blackmill, Heol-y-Cwy and Llanharan, where it was neutralised for the ride through horse-infested lanes to Caffe Nero. Cake was taken. And in Gregg's case, panini followed cake
.
Highly enjoyable - and much better than the alternative drenching which awaits those riding tomorrow.
Thanks for the ride lads.
