An alternative would be to do the pacers Black Mountain route but with a 9am start from Neath which would keep the miles down to around 55/60? So I’m suggesting driving out to Neath not riding out there and not riding with the pacers. But we could still go with their two cafe stops. 😀🚴‍♀️
Let me know if anybody would be up for this. If not we’ll go with Plan A

I aim to be out. We picked up our new Pointer/Dalmatian puppy so I am sleep deprived and missing my bike. He’s worth it though 😁

Only 3 of us out this morning :-
Myself
Karl
Denise
We went ahead and cycled Richard’s planned route minus Richard. We rode well together with Karl doing most of the donkey work on the front in a swirling north easterly wind. A beautiful warm sunny coffee stop at Cafe Fresco in Swansea Marina. A few cheeky climbs and fairly incident free ride apart from a car almost wiping out all 3 of us turning into a junction between Margam and Pyle on our way home. An enjoyable ride in warm September sunshine, weather permitting and lockdown permitting hopefully see you next week. Lee
