Top weekend! Thanks to everyone for coming along and making it such a great event. Particular thanks to Steve Parry for his organisation and route creation efforts,

Here's one of the pictures I came away with:

See you all again next year, if not before.

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Hi all, good to catch up with many old friends, shame I didn't make the Rideout but wasn't sure how I would be getting back on the bike again!! Totally knackered today but it can only get better. Roll on the next one.

So for all us Welsh Weekend virgins, is there a plan of routes or is it made up on the day?

Can we join halfway through for a ride out if we know the route and are not staying at the hotel?

All advice appreciated.

Regards Mark.


Hi Mark

So where did you both end up on Saturday ? I can’t recall seeing you on the ride out anywhere. We had a fantastic day with lunch in Aberystwyth, which would have been an easy hop home for you both. Next time maybe. Take care [smilie=bike.gif]

Hey Gang,

It was nice to meet some of you guys and see all the bikes out and about!

We found the famous Ponderosa cafe and sat back and enjoyed the views and bikes for a while then wombled homewards the slightly longer way back.

Sorry we didn’t catch back up with you all it would have been quite the sight I’m sure.

The roads ‘up north are amazing and we only wish we could have headed further up in to slate territory, but there only so much time allowed for playing!

Keep safe All. Mark.
