What a nice combination! …. thinking that the best weather would be this morning I rode my bike in to Margam Park. I didn’t cover much ground as the path I wanted to take (Cwm Phillip??) was blocked off by a big green gate and I’m too weak and feeble to get my bike past it, so I took a right turn up the side of a huge hill. Even the juggernaut tyres on my bike couldn’t cope with the climb (it was the bike, honest) so after walking to the top I got great views briefly before hitting 22mph on the bumpy ride down…woooooooohoooooo. And I didn’t fall off, which was the best bit. Then after that I went and sat in the cinema on my own and saw one of those local Welsh films. Indiana Jones. Accompanied by Turkish Delight ice cream. Now it’s time for Dr Who so no phoning me in the next hour, okay!
Actually, can I just add, I hit 29mph on the road on the way back… the 22mph was down a dirt track and my brains were hurting so I didn’t dare let the brakes out fully – they did need seriously adjusting afterwards though cuz of the wear. They smelled warm too.
