Day Two: Breezing into Brecon

Post date: 16-Aug-2010 16:37:17

7am Radio Two, Chris Evans, mentions the ride but names Adam Bradley as the rider! Webmistress will demand a correction.

Carmarthen to Brecon. 50 miles in 3 hrs 42.

After a good night's sleep in spite of the party being held in the adjoining function room our heroes ate a hearty Welsh Breakfast* before setting off at 10.30am.

It was a warm day with a gentle breeze and one gentle but very very long hill. In Llandeilo they stopped at The White Hart for coffee and muffins (Brad** 3 Paul 1).

A few miles later they thought they'd reached Matlock Baths from the number of motorbikes but it was actually Llandovery . Lunch was partaken in a teashop in company with a local cycling group (birds of a feather?). Sorry Webmisttress cannot read what they ate but she was taking down report whilst trying to watch 'Vexed'.

5pm saw them reach Brecon. Dinner of roast presumably Welsh lamb at the George Hotel. And so to bed ................

Brad** aka Richard [did you think they'd acquired a third musketeer?]

Welsh Breakfast* English plus laverbread I think.
