    We generally ride from either Pontllanfraith up over to the masts etc. You will obvously know the routes. We ride most Tuesday and Thursday evenings and it varies on the weekend. Depends on the weather. We try to ride a bit further afield (Nant or Brechfa etc) once a month. Try to get in a D?H day at CC once in a while to. Keep an eye on the bikeradar forum. Dont tend to post on the other forums.
    PM if you fancy joining us, more than welcome. Usually about 4-5 but can be up to about 10 of us.
