Thanks for leading Gus.
A good workout today and glad I got out of bed. Felt it towards the end especially the last climb after the visitor centre. Met a couple of friendly locals while we were out (I wonder if the farmer has got his banjo out yet).
Thanks also to Andy and Matt for sorting my small mechanical out. Aleds frame busting was a bummer but I'd be surprised if you had any hassle getting a replacement.
Here's to next time.

Hot hot ride, lovely warm breeze, stunning views, everyone in a great mood but all gutted for Aled, I know how much you wanted to complete the ride pal, loads of photos to make you jealous. That farmer was mad, he roared up to us on his quad shouting at us in Welsh at first, he then changed to English when he saw our blank faces. Farmer - " You're not allowed here bugger off back the way you came." Me - "We are allowed, it's a bridleway!" Farmer - "A bridleways for horses not bloody bicycles." Me - "Bridleways are for everyone, not just horses" Farmer - "This is my bloody land, I say who's allowed on it" Me - "But you're not the law........" - etc. etc.... Farmer - RED IN FACE - "Wait there, I'll be back to deal with you lot!" Fair play to him though, he did come back when he realised what a to$$er he'd been and he was okay with us in the end. Thanks to everyone for making a great route into a great days riding all topped off with Ice creams.

Even more gutted now that I had to bale out, after seeing the photos, as Ireally wanted to explore the area after studying the area on a map. Maybe we could get another ride sorted in the locality later on in the summer, and hpefully get another scorcher! Smithy get that hair cut and your toenails clipped!! ;D ;D

Let us all know when you are expecting the baby beer barrel, hence the bloated gut in that pic with you uncle Reg's tank top on ;D There's a simple explanation....I had to deliver a wok on the way home and I couldn't chance leaving it in the car. I've no excuse for the tank top though
