Social club run Sun June 1st
« on: May 30, 2025, 07:34:20 AM »
Steady pace ride, at speed of the slowest, with no dropping of riders.

Aim for 30 miles with at least one coffee stop.

Depart rear car park Brackla triangle 9:00am.  All welcome

Just Scott and myself out this morning. Bit cooler than expected at the start but soon warmed up as Scott set a 'rapid'  pace for Social group ride. As the mantra for the Social group ride is to stick to the pace of the slowest rider, there was nothing to do but hang on to Scott's wheel for 95% of the ride.
Did the 'Porthcawl' loop with an additional few miles to Aberavon and coffee at Remo's. First time for me and probably 60 year since I was last on Aberavon seafront, think it's changed a bit!
Scott pushed on back to Porthcawl and home via Mawdlam and Pyle.
Long time since I've ridden at near 18mph ave., thoroughly enjoyed the suffering!  ;D

Unfortunately I'm away the next 3 weekends so won't lead a Social ride until June 29th

Far too modest. It was nearer to a 60/40 split. Plus I was hanging on to your wheel by my finger tips going up over the Grove🦵💪

In good shape for the TDF stage!
