I'm up for the early start. Hope there is coffee stop in there somewhere.
The Bwlch and Rhigos will be quite a change for me from the flat countryside of the South of France coast!

[Paul Longthorn]

[Chris Reed]

We started off at a fast pace and by the time we got passed Neath, we were at an average speed of 18mph. This soon slowed down once we hit the climbs. Stopped of in Treorchy in the Station Cafe. In was an experience. Like going back in time 40 years. We continued on climbed the Bwlch and home before 12:30 62 miles for me see you next week.
