FNRttC Night Ride Cardiff to Swansea Friday 18th September

[Wobblers]

I fear this may require a more substantial sacrifice than either, or indeed both, of you. Something in the order of a whole porpoise I think.

That's a little rich coming from someone who happens to be shorter than either of us (or are you counting waist size?). Anyway, it's not quantity that counts, it's quality - otherwise Long Martin would be in trouble.

I think not - after all, I'm not the loon contemplating riding the 250 odd miles to the start from Portsmouth. Instead I'll be tucked up in my nice, warm bed (I couldn't face the horrors of Arriva Wales I'm afraid.... )

It's only 150 actually.....

 

[Wobblers]

What's a hundred miles between friends, eh?

PS: You're still a loon!

Wow ! What a turnout ! Hope the weather gods are kind to you all.

Back to the Pier again- Ripples no more?
I trust there will be an extra safety talk before Bog Road?

Bog road is pleasant, passable, picturesque and in no way perilous or problematic.

Dissenters will be sent to the gulag.

Yes comrade

Yes comrade

You don't need to assent - it's not optional. Anyway, get the train to the start and don't be a silly billy. The Bog Road is enhanced by being fresh-faced and lively-legged.

Have a good ride.

The Fridays = only cycling club in the world that one week takes you to the Netherlands and you ride past a World Heritage site, beautiful villages, pretty dunes and massive concrete infrastructure and the next week takes you up Bog Road. Love it.

It's not that kind of bog, Martin. But the khazis at the halfway stop are first-rate.

the khazis at the halfway stop are first-rate.

I've no doubt they'll be better than the ones on Eurostar's service to Avignon, where I'll be instead of enjoying the freedom of the open road........

Morning Everyone

It's today! The weather forecast is very promising - dry, clear and a light crosswind. Do bear in mind that the temperature will drop as we head out into the countryside, so it's worth bringing a light layer or two.

Food has been pre-ordered for everyone so don't forget to bring £8, and also some money for breakfast if you want it.

The meeting point is the Millennium Centre, 11.30: https://goo.gl/maps/AmTHQ
That's it. See you later.

A glorious morning at our destination...
