Firstly can I say that I was one of the 6 out on Sunday and for a very short time I was almost convinced that I must have been the “ very strong cyclist” unknown to Sweaty Eds as I’m not a Matt, Graham or Celia.

I should have realised sooner that he must have had me down as a Matt, dam, and I felt so proud of myself thinking that the months of training and changing my compact had actually paid off. However I would like to say that for the first time ever I managed to get up Pendine Hill without stopping.

The rest of the ride (without Sweaty Eds) was also very enjoyable despite the cold weather and was remarkably uneventful with no spectacular crashes or punctures to report.

Between Marros and Summerhill we were all stuck behind a tractor and trailer which slowed us down a bit. Some of us had the good sense to slow down a little going out of Amroth towards Summerhill, thus avoiding having to stop on the hill while the tractor waited for traffic, nothing to do with being a slow hill climber.

From there back to Tanners Lane we all stuck together, Matt G and myself headed east towards Tavernspite and home while the rest make their way back to Narberth. A very pleasant ride and back home by 11:30 for me to work in the garden for the rest of the day.
