Don't forget it's the Dragon this weekend. Neath Valley might be busy.

  Dont like to blow my own trumpet but really good route today 8) Brisk start to Pontypridd to tackle the Graigwen Road climb which was new to most of us. The first mile was over 10%  then the gradients eased off but the length of the climb surprised us all, great surface and one we will be doing again. Dropped down into Ferndale and climbed over Maerdy mountian to Bradleys in Abardare, where Mark was there before all of us to orderer coffee. Headwind into Glyneath where we passed alot of riders doing the Dragon, we then turned into Resolven for the lumpier way back. Doing well for time another coffee stop was on the cards, so briefly stopped in Britton Ferry. 
Great ride today, really enjoyed

Yes good route and another good ride. The 'new' climb was good but a challenge and so many false top of the climbs......well i thoughts so it seemed to just keep going.
