I left Llantwit at 8am in the wet, cold and wind expecting a 2 banana, 5 pack of Haribo ride. Fought my way to Brackla and met up with NostrapsMike (the Tank engine) and Nige W. The Bwlch was a definate no-no in this weather as was Llangeinor. So we went on a mystery tour.
We went round the coast path through Ogmore then to St Brides Major and Wick. We turned off by the Star Inn at Wick and pootled to the top of Post Office hill and down through Lampfa. Kept on that road past Llandow. Skirted round St Mary church and on through Treguff (up the slippery slope - Keep your bum on the saddle) across and down into Penmark. Over past Fonmon, through Gileston, St Athan then coffee at Cafe Velo. I went home at this point as I was cold, wet and had a very muddy bum. I think it would have been cleaner to go Mountain Biking
Introduced Nige to some new lanes and hills was a good ride despite the weather and road conditions. Only ate one pack of Haribo. Won't be long till it warms up
