Ride Report – A Medieval Easter

Leader: Nick Canham

With this ride taking place on a bank holiday Monday morning, the question 
was would anyone be mad enough to spend their day off, post-easter gorge, 
cycling to Penarth and back.  Thankfully with the sun coming out, so did 
the cyclists and we had the largest group to date.

Nick led everyone through Riverside, Butetown, the new Sports Vilage and 
with none of the potential difficulties, along Cogan Spur.

Penarth Seafront provided ice cream refreshment, whilst a rear puncture 
proved to be a nightmare to rectify, requiring two pumps and three inner tubes 
to complete the task!

Cosmeston Park offered a variety of activities including opportunities to 
tour the park by bike and also a visit to the Medieval Village to observe 
traditional crafts.

A leisurely pace through Sully and returning to Cardiff via part of the 
newly-developed Ely Trail, the perfect ending was a well-deserved drink 
in the Mochyn Du Pub where we could relax after all of our pedalling and 
look forward to the next adventure.
