Old Horseshoe Pass, The Shelf, Bwlch Penbarras and Horseshoe pass.....again
Yes, yes I know this hasn't been updated this for ages but I promise we HAVE been out every week, Robbo, Craig and Jude even managed to sneak in trips to Mont Ventoux since the last write up!!! Anyway, today's Autumnal outing was made up of Rocket, Ronnie, Robbo, Vino, Craig and Chrissy. Le Patron decided to sit this one out as he's still recovering from a rare strain of village malaise, which left route planning duties in the capable but sadistic hands of Robbo and Chrissy. The map shows the full route and the gradients on parts of the old horseshoe and Bwlch Penbarras were rideable but just plain silly. A 15.5 average was the best we could manage on this sort of terrain, but it was bloody good fun all the same.
