Any of the Chasers tempted to join the Pacers and tandem this Sunday?

I am tempted.  It looks a nice route too.

I'm not totally decided on what I'm going to do Sunday. Here is a suggested route for the chasers for those who do not want to join the pacers ride.

So out on the A48 to Port Talbot - up the Afan Valley to Pontrhydyfen and across to Cimla - into Neath and then up to Rhos and Alltwen and Glais - back into Neath - and home to Bridgend via Briton Ferry, Harbour Way and Stormy Down.

About 55 miles

Coffee stop in Neath or Aberavon

There were 6 of us out this morning,
Richard Lewis
Richard Bowmer
The return of Chris Goodwin
Andy Harries
Paul Longthorn
And a welcome to newcomer Hassan Ghaith, Hassan rode very strongly this morning and should be with the pacers from now on.
Set off as planned following the route out on the A48 and then up the Afan Valley and across to the climb up to Cimla which we had all been looking forward to. Into Neath, Chris, Paul and Andy then turnEd for home. The rest of us headed up to Rhos and then over the valley to Pontardawe and Trebanos where we ran into some light drizzle. Then back across to Glais and Birchgrove and the Drummau Road climb and back into Neath. We found a new coffee stop where we all enjoyed coffee and bacon rolls. Then the direct route home with Hassan very strong on the front back to Bridgend.
Enjoyed that thanks all, see you all again next week.
