PTW

Will be OK for next Saturday Martin

Well, I got my newly repaired steed from Jeff this afternoon, and with the shoulder feeling a lot better, I headed out for a blitz to clear out the cobwebs. 40km in 110 minutes with about 600m of climbing, taking in Pen Lle'r Castell and Cwmllynfell

Funnily enough this is almost exactly ONE THIRD of the shorter Dragon Ride (120km with 1800m of climbing). My predicted time is therefore 330 minutes - minimum. 5 1/2 hours. It's definitely a sobering thought.

See y'all on Saturday morning.

Don"t forget to take your Aero bars off Bill!

I have an entry in Dragon Ride but unfortunately or maybe fortunately for me, I am attending a stag do that weekend. Anyone want my entry. Heard Dai Abbot has not entered but has been training with the dragon boys - shame to let entry go to waste. No charge just collect numbers and tags and your welcome to it.

Hi all, excellent ride on Saturday, throughly enjoyed it. Anyone fancy a last minute training ride? If so,6.30pm Thurs. bottom of Penywern Hill (Cadoxton), Pontardawe-Abercrave, Glynneath-home. Hope to see you all then.

Hopefully for a grouop start at 8am.
