Blimey Daz, some serious miles being cranked up there! Managed a belated outing today, the planned 80 reduced to 60, time pressures and train strikes, its a long sorry tale! Anyway, tried to meet up with the lads doing 80 but clearly missed them so just kept going in a pennance sort of way, beyond Maesteg, through Cerau, don't stop there, your bike will be knicked from underneath you and sold for drugs in a jiffy! Somehow ending up in Abergwynfi, the jewel of the valleys as OGB says, for the second time this week. Good climb over the Bwlch, but utterly freezing wind once on the top and all the way down to Treorchy and beyond. Knew things were grim when the gritting lorry gave me the once over with salt on his travels. So cold, didn't dare stop otherwise would have been frozen to the spot and bike knicked and sold for drugs etc. Didn't warm up until the roundabout of death just north of Cardiff and trundled in feeling a little weary and very hungry!:):)
