Amblers' Club Run - Sunday 19 July

[Mark Pope]

This week's step-up ride is a bit shorter than usual and will keep to around 16mph average speed. The proposed route is:

Brackla - Ewenny -Post Office Hill - Mt Pleasant -Wick - Llantwit Major - St Athan - East Aberthaw - Rhoose - Porthkerry Park - 5 Mile Lane - Dyffryn Gardens - Bonvilston - Welsh St Donuts - Aberthin - Llansanor - City - Llangan - Trees - Brackla.

It's around 43 miles and there are no cheeky climbs except maybe Post Office Hill. The plan is to stop for coffee at Dyffryn Gardens. See you at 0900.

No 25ers stepped up today, although Ron rode with us for the first third of the ride. It was mostly the usual suspects out for today's Amble, with 10 in the group. After our now traditional grey, damp Sunday morning start, it brightened up into a nice, sunny morning with a fresh to strong breeze that mostly followed us. We had a relaxed coffee and cake stop at Dyffryn Gardens and came back to Brackla via the Lanes. We had a few mechanicals, which slowed us down to old fashioned Ambler's speed but all in all a good ride. Out today were:

Ross
Roy 2
Terry
Tony
Craig
Ron
Chris R
Mal
Jonathan Spinks

We definitely have a few riders who could step-up. Perhaps it's time for another 'steady' joint Pacers/Amblers ride.
