    You may remember be moaning about not being able to pedal up hills a few
    weeks ago.

    Today, I went for a ride along my new favourit route. 12.5 miles, almost
    all up or down hill, up to Caerphilly, then hooking around the back of
    the hill that Castell Coch is on, coming back through a trail in the
    forest.

    Anyway, the big news is, I only walked once, for about 10 yards - and
    then only because I couldn't get started on a really steep bit after
    stopping. The rest of the time, I either powered up, or spun on the
    granny gear. I got home feeling pretty tired, but elated. The practise
    has worked.

    Next, I think, is stretching out my distance. I'm thinking of Newport
    and back.

    Why not to Stalling Down Cafe on a Sunday Morning?

    I hadn't heard of that one. Cowbridge, eh? Might be nice. Does something
    happen there regularly?

    At or around 12 you will normally find at least two or three club runs
    that end up there. I'm leading this weeks amblers run and am aiming to be
    there about 12ish Brackla, Pencoed, Llanharan, Miskin, Peterstone-Super
    -Ely ( and the hill!), Hensol, Stalling Down.

    Ah, right.

    Sounds out of my league, even if it is called 'amblers' 🙂
