« on: October 27, 2016, 01:46:57 PM »
DON'T FORGET THE CLOCKS CHANGE!!!

Tandem friendly route again, this week (more so than last week) down to Swansea marina.
Outward journey via Porthcawl, Neath, Skewen and Bonymaen and return via Fabian Way

See you Sunday at 9:00, which would really be 10:00!

Hi Andy,

If you don't mind I propose that the Chasers (AKA the Amblers) join you tomorrow. I'm not completely sure of the route through Skewen but hopefully we can keep you in sight on the way to the Marina.

I can get us from Neath through Skewen over junction 44 to Llansamlet. I don't know my way over Bonymaen but I can get from Llansamlet back down to the Marina.

As this is a tandem friendly route I would have thought most should be Ok with the pace tomorrow.

Happy to sit on the front with you, Mark and we'll set a suitable pace to allow us to ge to marina together. Then anybody feeling frisky can set the pace on the homeward leg, it's normally a bit of a thrash along Fabian way but we can spilt into appropriate groups after that

Thanks Andy, that was an enjoyable mixed ride today with the 'Chasers' hanging on to the coat tails of the Pacers down to Swansea Marina and back. The legs are feeling it now after the slightly brisk pace. I won't write up a Chaser's report but if it helps I counted 17 of us out today, as follows:

Steven
Steve C
Andy H
Keith
Neil B
Terry
Lea
Nick (the Power) Langley
Steve Landeg
Rich B
Richard
Jason
Roy Richards
Craig
Paul Nicholas
Mark P

Is that similar to Phil (The Power) Taylor...I.e. Some fat bloke that loves boozing!? ...sounds pretty spot on 😀

Good riding today, thought groups managed to stay together pretty well and regrouped when necessary.
As usual tandem strugggled a bit in the hills once the pace started picking up on the way home. We were happy to 'mop up' the stragglers at the rear!
