Amblers/Social ride Sunday May 10th
« on: May 05, 2026, 03:52:19 PM »
I'll be out to lead a 'Social 'NO DROP' club run this Sunday.
Around 30 miles steady pace usually 13-15mph but depending on the pace of the slowest rider.
At least one coffee stop, all welcome, old, new, male, female.

Depart from dialysis unit car park, rear of Brackla triangle at 9:00am

Ali joined me for the Amblers ride, initially following the Pacers/Chasers group for the first 10 miles or so. We 'let them' forge on after Llantrisant and settled into a steadier pace for the rest of the day.
After cycle path past Llantrisant followed the route to Pontypridd then diverted to Abercynon. Almost did myself a mischief on the sharp rise out of the village, when the skewer came loose on my rear wheel, bike came to a standstill but I carried on to land astride the front stem. Lucky escape!!
Quick coffee stop in Pontypridd before retracing our steps as far as Llantrisant and returning home via Ystradowen, City and Graig Penllyn

47 miles @15.8mph average, bit faster than a normal Amblers due to the speedy tow at the start  :)
