What a day, sunshine, blue skies and magnificent views.
Seven members met-up at Aberavon Beach to make their way to the Llanelli and the campsite, The Gateway Holiday Park that is to be used on the first two days of the Summer’s Charity Ride in July. Riding into a strong breeze along the busy beach front at Aberavon before taking to the main road and climbing over the Briton Ferry bridge. Along Jersey Marine before entering the revitalised dockyards at Swansea, passing the elegant marina with its shops and cafe before following the promenade past Swansea Bay. The next stage saw the riders climb through the lovely wooded Clyne valley, past Dunvant Rugby Club before arriving in Lougher. A nasty headwind slowed the riders up crossing the bridge and then it was to the back lanes before arriving at the campsite.
Following a chat to the manager, getting allocated a camping spot for the summer, it was into the busy bar for coffee and kit-kats.
Fully refreshed, the return journey followed the same route before arriving back at Aberavon Beach suitably tired.
