Cheers John. Right, out today were: Lee (call of nature at Afan Argoed), Ross (what's in that rucksack?), John (strong turn up Afan valley, did he forget the Bwlch came next?) Wayne (strong climbing and enough in the tank to tow us round Pencoed and back to B&Q - with the amount of gear in his back pockets, he'd probably been there already!), Rich (steady Eddie)B and Mark R (off at Port Talbot - "flat training for flat racing", or was it a hangover?).
We took on RR2 and despite the mixed group achieved 16.5mph average relishing the better-than-forecast conditions, so credit to our two 25-ers. Lee meanwhile must have been relishing better-than-forecast facilities at Parc Afan Argoed - we never saw him again! While we waited at the top of the Bwlch, we had to listen to the Rhondda's answer to Jeremy Clarkson bang on about cyclists in the fog w/o lights - we rose above the urge to tell him that overgrown boy-racers in their 'Carlos Fandango-ed' hatchbacks ought to drive according to the conditions - fortunately he hadn't run down Lee who'd returned via Bryn.
Coffee and cake at Ewenny - thanks for the company lads.
