Sundays ride is something different as we are meeting up at the Open Hearth, Griffithstown to allow us to make the most of the sunshine and go further away but in the same amount of time.

Starting on the Canal we are off road for most of the ride with stunning views across the Valleys. First stop will be Blaenavon Railway Station for a special event to see one of the oldest steam trains running and stopping for a cuppa. From the Station we carry on to the beatiful Clydach Gorge then off to the Goose and Cuckoo for special event, Goose fest. Altogether a very scenic ride soaking up the sun as we go, ending with a nice cold drink.

A good pump, a spare inner tube and a small amount of cash for coffee stops are always a good idea. ●●● Helmets are mandatory...NO HELMET = NO RIDE.

We especially welcome newbies!
