6 out yesterday to enjoy the warm weather. Myself, Ade, Jonathon, Jo, Carrie H and Nick H.
Jo has a broken wrist and hasn't been out for 5 weeks. Nick and Carrie hadn't done much riding (or none at all in Carries case). But to our benefit Nick has spent his time doing art instead. If you haven't seen his Geraint Thomas picture you're missing a treat. He has his art show starting on Wednesday in Cowbridge. I'm sure he will let everyone know more details though.
I wasn't overly sure on the route as I hadn't ridden it fully. So Ade took on the front as he knew where we were going. Ade had decided though we would keep to 15mph. Fair enough but keeping the same pace up the hills unfortunately meant that we broke Carrie after Watery Lane and then Jo a little while later. They thought they were holding the group back. You weren't we were more than happy to wait for you both and you were putting in much stronger rides than you thought based on Strava.
We stopped at Cafe Velo as it was a little early to stop in Cowbridge. From there we went along the coast road Nick and I turned off at the Plough and Harrow where I made my way back to Llantwit along the main road and Nick went home through Wick.
All in all it was a great ride. Good to catch up with people after the weather and other commitments keeping me away the last couple of weeks.
