Harpo, Jason T, Steve C, Mark R, Paul R ,Allan W Greg B and myself set off for a harsh examination of my current state of bike fitness taking in the Bwlch and Rhigos. Allan peeled off at Treochy while we waited for Mark to fix Harpos second mechanical (chain too long / loose headset). this gave a chance for the local horseflies to sample my left arm.
Nice (Majorca - esque) coffee stop in Aberdare and then chain gang all the way to Pontyclun via the old road.
Near miss at the roundabout (top tip don't brake at 25mph...), I assume the pace did not relent all the way back to Bridgend.
