Southerndown Ride

Leader: Nick Canham

The distance of approximately 55 miles - the longest yet in Cycle
Cardiff's repertoire - did not deter a very enthusiastic
bunch of cyclists (18 of us) setting off to the beach. Nick led
us through the Vale of Glamorgan and Cowbridge towards Ogmore-on
Sea on the loveliest of routes. After a quick chocolate bar stop
at Ewenny's local shop we headed for Southerndown where we
spent a fabulous time on the beach (or in the pub), with four
intrepid cyclists braving the waters.

We came back through Monk Nash and Llantwit, passing through 
some of the most delightful little villages and having a final 
tea stop at the Sportman's Rest in Peterstone. An excellent day 
out - and a personal best in terms of distance covered for several 
riders.
Thanks Nick - a splendid day.
