Something to prove!?

Perhaps I had something to prove today. Couple of things came together J mentioned the ride up the National Cycle Network route 4 from Swansea to Pembrey park was a good ride. Having a new gearset, I fancied bedding it in on sealed surface ride (plus I've still got the Scott Marigold Acne tyres on). 2 weeks+ out of the saddle and I felt the need to show to myself I hadn't got lazy. So, off I went up route 4, thinking I'd about turn and come back after Llanelli. Llanelli came and went and I was still going strong. Burry Port came and went, and I still felt driven. Pembrey and park arrived and before I popped out the west end of the Park I stopped for a bite to eat by the race track (picture). 1 small oaty bar later I decided it was time to head home, via a cafe. The search for a suitable cafe lasted 'til Llanelli (bearing in mind I had no bike lock). At Llanelli I gave up and found an Asda instead. 4 sandwiches and 2l of water later and all of a sudden the remains of the ride home looked a little daunting!!

I DID press on and impressed myself with a final mileage of over 50 miles!

Now I can't walk!! :-)
