Thanks to the pacers for sharing their ride with us today. It worked today Rob, possibly as there were only a few pacers, but we also kept talking all the way round and did give the faster riders the option to ride on on a few occasions. Alan, Steve, Andy, Jason from the regular pacers plus me Wayne, Neil, Haydn,Terry and Jonathan. 102 km for me and 1,618m of climbing including the Bwlch, Rhigos and Maerdy mountain roads. Great ride. Thanks all.
Glad to hear it Richard (the butcher or another RichardB?). I think its good to have the ride options is all I'm saying, rather than any pre-determined merger(s)...i.e. pacers, amblers and 25s. Then individuals can decide on the day what group they fancy riding with based on who else is there, how they are feeling, the route etc. Sounds like thats exactly how it happened today.
And well done for talking in metric btw..not to mention for taking the hilly ride option - perfect day for it!
