A beautiful early Spring day and the group ride was up to Llanwonno mountain and back, with lunch in the pub, there. On a Sunday it caters mainly for lunches but they will do some rolls, which are big and many a time I've had to bring half of it home.
If you dont fancy a pub lunch, then on the way there we pass this cafe. The only problem with stopping here is that you then have to cycle up some 15 - 20 % hills with a mug of tea and a bacon sandwich inside.
Many South Wales valleys cafes have Italian names as they were originally started by Italian immigrants. The Welsh Italian history is interesting and these cafes have been part of Valleys life for many years.
There's more here on the Welsh Italians

Stunning views from the top especially with the clear skies.
Whilst this isnt a long ride the height gain in a few miles is about 1300 feet.
