Mid-week rides wk of 2/4

[Tom]

Can't be hugely optimistic about the weather tomorrow-BBC gives 61% chance of rain at 9 o clock but if the fates are kind I will be at B&Q roundabout at 9.45.If not may delay going out but will post here if so.
Have to go and renew my Season Ticket at CCFC on Thursday so will be riding into Cardiff then

[Ben]

I'll meet you in Llantwit and ride over with you Tom. Let me know where and when to meet you.

[Tom]

I.ve messaged you Ben suggesting 9 o clock at the roundabout on the Llandow road-if weather ok!

[mal jones]

Weather permitting I’ll go To ewenny   road roundabout   For 10am as I’m sticking to the main roads after all the heavy rain . PS was told today that cafe velo is closed tomorrow so maybe a different coffee stop maybe you can check

[Ben]

Cafe Velo is indeed closed until Thursday. I don't suppose we could tempt Tom with a different route? I need to be at Sport Wales for 12pm for our Lunchtime ride (people are welcome to join) but I wouldn't mind a few uppy bits.

[Carrie Williams]

I’m hoping to be in Llantwit for 11,if I don’t see you before  perhaps Tom/Mal could text me with your coffee stop?

[Tom]

9 out today but unfortunately not all at the same time!Ben and I met Mike and Patrick at B&Q then rode up to Ewenny roundabout where we met Mal plus (Mark?)Nick and Carrie.We all went round the Coast then following a misunderstanding some took to the lanes and some stayed on the main road.Unfortunately Nick punctured and he and Carrie turned for home,Ben set out for Cardiff but the rest of us met Carrie W in Llantwit for coffee following which we went our separate ways.I went through the lanes with Carrie and did an extra loop to Cowbridge.As mentioned I'll be riding Llantwit-Cardiff and back on Thursday-Friday doubtful for me but I'd be surprised if someone isn't out!

[Ben]

I made it to Cardiff bang on time. 65miles on a Tuesday. Something wrong there. Nick and Carrie got home ok I think looking at Strava.

[mal jones]

Tom is doing trip to Cardiff on Thursday so maybe we could do a trip to Porthcawl or Aberavon sea front . Suggest we meet at Coity at 10 thurs .

[Patrickweir]

Hi Mal , see you at Coity

[mal jones]

Last of the summer wine trip to the sea side for me Patrick and Mike nice coffee stop at Remos in Aberavon. Patrick showing off his white legs for the first time this year sunny = hot if your Scottish. Quite hard work going home into a headwind with Patrick doing most of the work on the front ( trying to keep his legs warm) . Mikes jokes are getting worse but raised a few smiles .

[Carrie Williams]

Just Chris M and myself out today, probably just as well as we went through the roughest lanes which resulted in Chris puncturing - which I of course mended!  Nice route and great weather.
