:)The pudding run returned and it was a good ride out. 10 out today, Mark R,Chris G,Rich B, Rich D,Tony M, Karl W, Ross w, Henry (missed the start but made it to the pub), Andy and myself. The late start was to allow the Plough and Harrow to open before we got there. From Brackla off to Park street to the A48 turning left upto Ewenny roundabout and down to the the coast to go arround Ogmore. By this point a few had noted Karl had new bib tights on so the view from behind (excuse the pun) was much better. Karl doing a turn on the front was also a nice change. The pace was a little faster than expected around Ogmore and a call was made to remind us all its a social ride today. We then stayed as a group around the coast and onto the TT course with a tailwind. Over the turn rounabout for the TT and straight on to the bottom lights then right turn into Boverton and on to Llantwitt. Still as a group with plenty of chatting through the lanes to The Plough and Harrow. No coffee and cakes on the menu today with most having a Christmas tipple with a selection of plate of chips, Fish and chips, Cowl or soup. Our arrival was timed well as the place soon filled up. A few of us left the pub early as we had family commitments and said our farewells with the plan to meet up tomorrow for a ride. Looks like 2 rides out tomorrow with the 12 hills of Christmas or the pacers smashfest to Cardiff. Happy christmas all.
