Just four brave souls out this morning, Terry A, Carrie, Roy 2 and me. We did see Ron coming the other way just as we hit Treos and we hid in the hedge when Steve Chapman rode past looking for us (just joking Steve). Due to the wet and windy conditions and the freshly clipped blackthorn hedges we stayed away from our usual Tuesday lanes, hence Steve being unable to find us. We have become so used to riding in shorts and short sleeved shirts that we were caught out by the freezing rain and headed home early, chilled to the bone. We made the route up as we went along but took in Treos, Pentre Meyrick, Cowbridge (twice), LLandow, Llantwit Major, St Brides, Southerndown, Ewenny and the Golden Mile back to B&Q. Total distance only 31 miles and Strava included 20 minutes in Costas in our average speed, which makes it looks like we were riding mobility scooters. Still it was a few more miles in the bank and good company. As a few of us live quite some distance from Bridgend we have discussed starting the Tuesday ride at 10 am. At the moment 0930 is a bit of a rush for some of us, which is a partial excuse for our relative state of undress!
