We are currently in Wales and as normal the Brompton is in the car. It’s been in there unused since our trip to St Ives at Easter where it didn’t get ridden. But this time I was dead set on riding at least once. This morning we found ourselves in Llanelli and it’s on NCN4 so it’s rude not to. I got the bike out of the bag and FFS! the front tyre was flat a quick root about in the glovebox and bingo a mini pump, along with a multitool and a box of fast patches (we’ve stopped more than once to help a stranded rider go us) tyre pumped up and away I go.
The ride along the bay is lovely, smooth tarmac and it’s fairly flat. I stopped to take a few pics, I had a quick blast around possibly the shitist skatepark in the world, although the concrete 1/2 pipe as fun, how tight a transition though? I went down to the beach, along the waterfowl lake area and over to the lighthouse. Liz, Dolly and a 99 were waiting for me at the end so what more could you ask for?
