Day 22 : 31.7 miles - Black Mountain

Drove MrsGreyPea out past Llangadog with her bike and drove back to the farm to get on my bike. Rode the longer way via Myddfai to the Black Mountain road and started the climb.

Was a lot hotter today, but set off remembering and extra water for us both in case. We met lower down the climb today, and plodded on to the summit.

As it turns out, we were both cold on the higher slopes as it was a lot windier today up there.


I cycled ahead to check whether the ice-cream van was parked up at the top, as sometimes was the case. Luckily it was, and it provided a good excuse for a breather at the top.

The descent was a lot quicker today as MrsGreyPea began to trust the corners more, and we were soon back down on the lower sheltered warmer roads. Great ride together.
