Such a beautiful day and a beautiful place to start a bike ride. That is why Ian got me up there so early so we could have a look around the gardens without any crowds. In fact we had the place to ourselves for nearly an hour!!

I will let Ian go into detail about the ride. I really enjoyed the route, good fast start with some great climbs and the descent down the mynydd ddu was superb.

Even though the weather was very hot,I would take those conditions instead of rain, wind and cold every day of the week. I will certainly ride this one again.

PS Well done Swancvs on a great time.
