8 out on a mixed amblers/pacers ride this morning.
Andrew S, Steve C, Wayne, Roy 2, Paul, Richard, Malcolm (newbie) and me. Headed out via Tonna, Maesteg to Bryn. Andrew, Steve and Paul all climbing strongly with the rest of us providing a rearguard. Then on to Pontrhydyfen and the sharp climb up to Cimla. Regrouped at the summit and then the group split as we got to Neath, four heading for home and Paul, Wayne,Roy and myself heading for Seven Sisters. A long steady climb was made tougher by the constant headwind, mostly with Wayne on the front, we were glad to get to Duffryn and start the rapid decent to Glynneath. A quick coffee stop in McDonald before a wind assisted blast down the Vale of Neath and then fighting the wind home.
69 miles @16.6mph nearly 4000ft elevation gain.
Hope to see you again Malcolm and well done Roy for hanging in there today!!
