Out today were myself, Dave W, Steve C, Steven, Reece, Nigel, Paul, Mark, John. A slight detour was required to the route at the start due to a flapping mudguard for Steve C, with a quick change of bike we then we headed down towards Miskin where John decided to peel off and go to the Vale. The first climb was up Church Rd to Pentyrch. On the descent from Pentyrch I had a puncture, the Mavic tubeless wheels failing on me to my embarrassment! All I can say is I wouldn't get a job on a F1 team changing tyres! With fresh legs we headed over to the mountain rd past Castle Coch, always a good climb and Reece was the next victim of the sniper, puncturing. After the stop starts it was agreed to head to Costa in Caerphilly and then bypass part of the route to Draethen. Fuelled up we headed towards Radyr and through Peterson super Ely, Pendoylan, and the lanes back home. A steady pace and not too badly affected by the weather. Cheers Guys.
