Amblers' Club Run - Sunday 7 Dec

[Mark Pope]

The proposed route for tomorrow is:

Brackla - Ewenny - Corntown Road - Post Office Hill - Across the ridge to Llandow - Cowbridge - Aberthin - Welsh St Donuts - Gwern - Y- Steeple - Peterston-Super-Ely - St Fagans - Wenvoe - Dyffryn - 5 Mile Lane - Rhoose around Airport - Aberthaw- St Athan - Llantwit Major - the Lanes - Southerndown - Ogmore - Ewenny - Brackla.

Depending which way we head back to Brackla from Ewenny it's around 50 miles (I'll head back through Corntown along the Golden Mile). Cafe stop at Cafe Velo. I had planned to use the lanes after Dyffryn across to Llancarfan but they're now quite chewed up and very muddy, hence a two mile stretch of 5-mile lane. The weather forecast is cool, sunny and windy which should be great on the way out to St Fagans .

See you tomorrow at 0930!

Excellent run today Mark-I'll leave it to you to post a report.I enjoyed it a lot more than last week-a few extra red blood cells do you a power of good-I'd recommend it to any other club members feeling below par!

[Mark Pope]

An enjoyable ride today despite the chilly headwind on the way home. At this time of the year any dry day is a good day. We were joined by Ron's 25 ers for today's run for the first 24 miles or so before they veered off at Peterston-Super-Ely. Ambling around the lanes today were:

Paul
Tom
Andy Samuels (a possible Majorca recruit and new club member)
Wayne
Jonathan
Ron

Unfortunately I broke a spoke as we passed East Aberthaw, which meant I had to nurse the bike home. The rest of the group were kind enough to ease up and ride back with me, hence our slightly slower than average speed. It was good to see Tom back to his normal strong form, powering up the hills after nearly throwing his bike away in disgust after last week's ride. A total distance of 50 miles from Brackla to Brackla.

[Paul Longthorn]

Yes great route Mark glad to hear you got back ok. Head wind made for good training weather.

Roy and I were out for 3 hours with no tea stop, up to Groesfaen then to Peterson, retraced our ride out well roughly anyway. Weather man told porkies again, we did have some rain. I can see this type merger of groups, Ambler 25er's more regular in the winter. Bad weather forecast for the week ahead Tuesday for the brave only?
