Its not that bad, really in real life

Well that's me thoroughly put off sorry! I'm waiting on srw's Guildford ride announcement before making a final decision ...

Sorry to hear that TMN. There is allways TC s Gower ride that might be more up your street later in the year.

You thinking a 10am start, LD? I'm interested if I'm around. TMN I don't think you should rule it out on account of one teensy hill, exaggerated by ShrinkingDuck. Sunday recovery at Chateau Claud could involve G&T...

 

[lukesdad]

Yep 10 a.m. TC, "ShrinkingDuck" love it ! and the bit he s reffering to is on the way down TMN.

Hehehe, to be fair I spent a fair bit of time 'Street viewing' the nasty looking bits Yesterday. Didn't look bad at all to be fair... although S.V. always tends to disguise the gradient. Some nice looking countryside - never seen so much green and brown all over the screen.

The scenery around Lynn Brianne (and the area a bit further north around Clairwen) is really stunning.

Not forgetting the view down the valley from sugarloaf.

There are some steep bits obviously but no hurry to get up them on a social ride and the steep bits are quite short climbs. Dont be put off its a stunning area to ride. Very light traffic, good road surfaces and amazing scenery.

Will you be ok in time? If not lets put the date back, wouldn't be right to do it without you.

 

[lukesdad]

Is yours and pubbys weight loss bet still running ?

I hope not; but keep feeding Banjo the deep-fried mars bars, just in case !

I'm sure that Banjo's won the bet - the prize is a year's supply of Trex.

You've got me worried now - I know that you are a lot quicker than me !

I don't even know where Llandovery is, but I suspect I'll have to make an early start - it'll be a 2 - 3 hour drive, I'd imagine, anywhere in South Wales seems to be a 2 - 3 hour drive.
