 9 riders out for the Chasers ride today, on a cold, windy but dry morning.
Out were:-
James
Terry
Tony
Nick
Richard
Chris G
Mark
Mike
and Me.
Worked well as a group into the biting cold wind via Llanharan, Pontyclun and Peterstone before turning off to Drope Road. Through Ely to Culverhouse and the climb up to Twyn Yr Odyn. James and Mike climbing strongly. I puncture just before the coffee stop in Duffryn but a quick change meant coffee was waiting on the table. (thanks James!)
Pace increased with the help of a tailwind home via Llancadle and Wick. my legs fell off on the Wick road (should've had something to eat at the coffee stop) and I struggled home with the help of a tow from Mike. Don't know about everybody else but I felt particularly cold today, wind chill a big factor I think.

RR1 next week see you all from 8:30 onward.

The big news from this ride was that they don't do tiffin in the coffee shop anymore, however the toilet block is still nice and toasty.
I agree Andy it was just too cold for me today.
