Amblers 29th June. 2014

[Paul Longthorn]

I'm a bit limited on time this Sunday and I know a lot of Club Members are going to see the British National Road Race in Abergavenny. Enjoy looks like a good day out.

I'm going to opt for more local route. Not intended to sabotage anyone's plans just an alternative route.

Brackla - Coity - Bryncethin - Sarn - Park Slip - A48 - Water Street- Porthcawl - West Park Drive - around the sea front - Three Steps Hill - A48 - New Inn Rd - Ewenny - Ogmore By Sea onto the Wick Road - Marcross - Llantwit Major Cafe stop.

Weather looks overcast but dry. Doesn't look like I'll be road testing the new club rain cape quite yet. Should be 45 - 50 miles all welcome see you at 9am

Time's a factor for me too Paul, so I'll join you on your ride.

Yes great ride and just missed the rain!I have just been given an official reprimand by Sarah for telling her we had a record number of ladiies out this morning-apparently the word ladies is no longer politically correct!Whatever they were it was very good to see so many of them!

Females.

[Tom]

Yes apparently in Local Government that is the correct terminology.(I'm saying no more in case I get in more trouble!)

[xrayspecs]

Using ladies and gentlemen is perjorative and expresses a value judgement towards the individual / group concerned..So I am told.
Recently updated my equality and diversity training.

There are people staving in this World.

Chris-the NHS is obviously like Local Gov.In fairness to S(not tat I like to be fair!) I should perhaps say that her personal view echoes Ron's but obviously in her professional role she wouldn't be allowed to say that!

Great ride this morning. I felt really good considering I shattered at least 6 Strava Segment records! It was my first time using Strava on my new Android phone and I forgot to stop Strava when I finished the ride. Hence my average speed back from Brackla to Barry was quite impressive. When I learn how to delete or discard the ride I will. 54.6 actual miles for me, slightly more on Strava!!
