It’s okay Andrew, we go down the staircase according to the arrows. The Elbow however is a different matter, methinks we’ll be climbing that one.

thanks for the help on Sunday! It was lovely to have such a warm welcome in sunny Narberth. You peeps were great!

[swancvs]

Note to self road bikes don’t off road well! Home safe and sound, here’s hoping my shoulder is just bruised.

[swancvs]

Yes Roger, as per the published route. Out from Bloomfield towards Princes Gate, etc.

See you somewhere en route!

[swancvs]

Okay, cool for the benefit of joiners on let’s go clockwise! (hope I picked the easier way!)

[swancvs]

They are desperate for marshals so if any of you are able to please contact the organiser ASAP? Thanks.

[swancvs]

Sorry guys, I will be involved in the day but in a different capacity with the Fire Service. Hope all goes really well.

A pleasant little jaunt up and down the hills of Narberth and her environs, cut cruelly short by some miserable weather. Hey ho,better luck next time.

I can’t I’m afraid, on call this weekend. Stay safe you guys! Have a good ride!

[swancvs]

No worries Matt, it was always a risk not telling you guys I was coming, trouble was, I didn’t know if I was until very late. I nearly didn’t thanks to my 6 month old puppy, hence the 60 minute time trial.

Alls well that ends well, to be honest guys you missed out on an amazing ride. Had LOADS of weather, but in between the soakings (my God they were heavy)there was some amazing scenery, loved the view of Newport both going down from Nevern to from Carn Ingli.

Cracking route and one that should stay on the club books methinks.

I must of just missed you guys. I got to Penblewin Roundabout after a 60 minute time trial not bad time keeping but nonetheless didn’t get there till 0805, I waited at the roundabout figuring I’d catch you on the way up the hill. I didn’t!

Perhaps, you guys went up to redstone cross and I missed you at the roundabout, too busy staring down the hill!

Anyway, I figured I’d missed you by 08:20 so it was put up or shut up time. Decided it was a shame to be all dressed up and just head home. So I headed off ‘Billy no mates’…

It was a an interesting ride, covering many of the joys of cycling, the weather ranged from blue sky, fluffy clouds, to cold, grey miserable and of course biblical rainfall! Damn that stuff stings at speed.

The Angel herself was kind, dry and sunny, bloody long and steep, but good weather for that bit.

I’ve uploaded the file for you sniggers. All in all a good ride, some of the road sections ooop North were awful but in the main a cracker of a run, thoroughly recommended.

amendment (ridgeway turnoff to jeffreyston junction)4.2 miles according to Google, grrr!

[swancvs]

Cracking run this morning, bit miffed with Garmin (we have a disagreement, I’m convinced it’s more than .25m between Hodgeston and Cressely!) However, otherwise a great ride out. The weather mostly behaved, only a few little soakings, quickly dried off.

One small point to note – don’t go to Tesco when you have postride munchies, it’s expensive and fattening! 😆
