Nothing great about this post other than I got fed up with looking at the last post and all the distress those floods caused.
Although the news at the moment is not good, but the worse thing I've read today is that in a few weeks the Government is going to issue guidance that the over the 70's will be required to self isolate. That's an end to our cycle club rides as many of us fall into this category.
So despite the early downpours today I managed a ride and it ended in beautiful sunshine. It was a solo ride and with no firm destination it ended as a bit of a valleys tour.

This is in Tonypandy a memorial to the Tonypandy Riots in 1910 -11.
A lot has been written about these riots and the troops were called in by Winston Churchill to help the police retain order. This is often disputed, but the outcome was that Churchill's standing in the valley towns hit a low.
The river Ely and the trail running alongside..
This section was full of birds and birdsong, and a joy to cycle it.
Always time for tea.
The view from the Garth mountain with Cardiff in the distance.
As always good to be out and the route is on Strava on the side panel.
Who knows what will happen in the coming weeks, initially I thought that there was a lot of panic over Corvid 19 when compared to a "normal" flu epidemic. now I'm not so sure.
