Day 4: the heavens opened last night with a roar of thunder, hurling pent up rain to the ground.

Having baked and burned for the previous 3 days, our intrepid cyclists ploughed into a wall of water. We had 66 miles to cover, with stops to make at Ty Cwm and Johnstown, Supported Living in Llanelli and Swansea Vale Resource Centre.

We made it through the rain to Ty Cwm and Johnstown where Cllr Emlyn Schiavone awarded medals to numerous residents who had made their own 350 mile journey on static Physio bikes,
Then it was on to Supported Living in Llanelli, for a quick pit stop and a warm welcome from staff and residents.

Next, after a couple of wrong turns and a fall, we made it to Swansea Vale Resource Centre, where we were warmly welcomed with coffee, cake and the sight of children waving Leonard Cheshire banners. We received well wishes from across the political spectrum, with a range of councillors, Assembly Members and Parliamentary Candidates meeting our cyclists.number of politicians also wished our cyclists good luck and urged them on.

Finally, we travelled on to the Best Western Hotel in Port Talbot, for hot food and dry towels!
