CC Llandovery Ride. Sat 26th May.

[pubrunner]

I did the bit from Rhandirmwyn up to the Devil's Staircase last weekend (as part of a loop from Dolgoch Youth Hostel near there) and can confirm that there cannot be many better cycling roads in the country. The big loop along the side of the reservoir is pure joy - enjoy the ride!

Frank, how hilly is the region ?

I'm not sure that I like the sound of anything called 'Staircase'

I believe the term Frank is searching for is "pancake flat". Or as near as.

Put it this way, I certainly know people who would call it that.
But don't believe anyone who says it never rains there!

I've just injured my achilles - through running, not cycling. So I'll be even less fit than usual. I'll have to take it easy, just to get to the start line.

I can commiserate with you about the achilles tendon,I did the same thing about 3 or 4 years ago ,I could barely walk for weeks but oddly it was ok on the bike. I havent done any running since (too scared of doing it again).

Hope yours isnt so bad but if you cant ride at least then there will be enough cake to go round.

LD isn't lying as such - he's simply impervious to gradient. You can't live round there if your worldview doesn't iron stuff out a bit. Hills for LD are just flat things that are looked at askew.

 

[theclaud]

Oh dear! You do realise that I go up hills at a slow walking pace don't you? I hope you've allowed lots of time for this ride.

You'll be fine - I'm just playing to Frank's expectations. It's true that LD is impervious to gradient, but he's inexhaustibly patient with the rest of us who don't share this quality, and I'm sure he's pacing the ride with that in mind.

I will be there . . . . . . . unless it is raining hard.

. . . then there will be enough cake to go round.

How many are actually going to be sharing the cake ?

C'mon LD, pull your finger out and get a list organised.

 

[Doseone]

If I bring cake do I have to share it?

 

[pubrunner]

Only with me . . . . . . . . that's half each !

In return, I'll give you half of my kitkat.

Thought I did this hmm, waiting for a few sitting on the fence. Is it the dry or wet list you want ?
