We had a good turnout this morning with 10 Chasers on the start line at Brackla and 2 more joining us on route. We headed out to Talbot Green before taking on the cheeky little climb up to old Llantrisant and on to Beddau, Creigau, Groes Faen and through Cowbridge on the way to a coffee stop in Llantwit Major. Unfortunately the planned stop at Brambles Tea Rooms was a no go as it was closed for January and Cafe Velo was Packed to the rafters, so someone had the bright idea to go to the pub instead. So after a further 10 minute jaunt we pulled in to the Three Horseshoes in Marcross for a very pleasant 'coffee' stop. After the stop we decided to cut the ride slightly short and headed home via St Brides and Death Valley for a ride of around 43 miles.
