Any Old South Walian Newbies out there?

Hi Guys,
Just bought my first road bike for 50 yrs and could do with a Buddy to ride weekday morns,preferably, around Llantrisant area,but I do have bike rack. I need to get some miles in and it's boring on my own !
My body is 71 yrs old,but my head says I should still be able to do 'evens' Praps an 'evening 10' if they still exist lol.

I bought 2 Jayce lol 1st a Claud Butler Levante-got it cheap and was going to put Drops on it.Getting 8 speed STI levers proved to be such a hassle that in the end I bought a Trek 1.2 and will sell the Claud in Spring.
