Numbers down at Brackla this morning as most people looked at the forecast and not out the window!!
7 pacers, regulars Jason, Chris R, Toestrap Steve and myself being joined by Richard B, Wayne and Andy Samuels from the Amblers for a loop around the Vale.
A healthy 'winter' club run pace took us out through Death Valley and Wick towards Cowbridge. A puncture on the section down to the Llantwit roundabout slowed us for a while but we were soon back on the road. Jason towed us to Cowbridge and the only real climb of the day Primrose Hill. The windy section across to Llanbethery saw Richard struggle for a while, unfortunately he said he'd brought his 'running legs' this morning. We then looped around Rhoose before heading back down the B4265 for a coffee stop at Cafe Velo.
Home via St Donats and Marcross, the group then splitting up to head for home either via Wick or a very blustery coast road to Ogmore and Southerndown. Had the only shower of the day here, only lasting 5 minutes or so. Weather behaved itself and was certainly much better than the forecast!
50 miles in the bank.
I'm not out next Sunday, so if anybody would like to post a route you know the routine.
