NNE actually Richard 8) We will do Abardare route clockwise then which means we should be back early to watch Paris-Roubaix. Good step up ride if any of chasers want to come.

Me Keith and Greg were like an f1 team changing that puncture on on stormy down.
Me and Keith peeled off to halfords port talbot to use their pump and buy another inner tube.
Me and Keith are thinking about riding with the port talbot wheelers next week.after seeing how they do a coffee stop :o
They stopped at Bradley's and there were lots of moans and groans because there was no bacon and sausage sandwiches on the go..
Also the cake selection in Bradleys was crap....baguette express next time for me costa carrot cake and 'maxwell' coffee ;D

Really good conditions today,  out today were
Myself
Alan
Chappers
Greg
Recce
Paul Rosser
Mark Rosser
Steven
Nick
Tony
Terry
Chris
Mark Jones
Nigel
Dave W and Keith (tandem)
        Tandem had a puncture on top of stormy, weren't long fixing it but deiced to go to Halfords to put more air in. Mark R peeled off not long after to rest his ski legs. We reached Afan Way and because of the numbers decided to have double paceline which worked quite well until neath, not so good after 8). Alan had the bragging rights up Glynneath bank closely followed by Chappers. Full gas then to Bardleys where the group split a little for the race to get to the cafe first.Good pace homeward bound until we hit a road closure after Church Village, didnt no what happened to everyone after that as I was on a mission to get back to watch Paris Roubaix. Well done to everyone who stepped up today, everyone did really well!
