Monday 26th Ride

Cracking day...literally for Dicky!! sorry Dick, hope you get it sorted soon, at least you missed out on the aches and pains the rest of us got!!!
Started out and Went Wood through a few slippery's out towards Shirenewton lanes and across to CoedyPaen, did the water crossing to Little Mill then headed over to Pontypool mountains for a bimble and some hill climbing, some of us climbed better than others but eventually all got to the top and up to the gas station on Cwmbran Mountain, switched back across to Abercarn, across the Scalextrics and down into Sirhowy Valley, up to the top for some more hillclimbing, fair play to sheepshagger, or from now on 'The Man of Steel' never gave up after some of us taking four times to get up (me) Man of Steel did it in probably ten attempts, the man just wouldnt give in...all our heads bowed in admiration....
Pics below, not too good some of them, Shep, hope u got some good uns too.


Tank decided to try an alternative route, but the tree came off on top!! hows the thumb fella..

Tank went by so quick, not even my expensive camera could keep up !!!
