Wales ride 24/25th Sept

Post by Rossgo »

So I really fancy a Wales ride out. I haven't been across the boarder this year and I feel like I am missing out!!

Anyone up for having a blast to Aberystwyth at all? Maybe meet up at Crossgates then head from there? Prob nice and early start as the sun is setting earlier and I'm sure non of us fancy riding around in the dark!!

This is obviously down to weather forecast and will be confirmed the night before just to make sure it will be OK. Wales is a long way and Aberystwyth is even further so don't want it spoiled!

I thought I was free that weekend but I had forgot that my wife is away for a long weekend, so sadly I can't make it as I've got the kids to look after from Thursday night until Sunday evening.

No worries Kwacky. Thought I'd pop up a post to see if it's a possibility or not.

Cav - depends which way they look at it... bad joke but I think someone had to say it!!

I may pop up on my tod at some point and just take it on when the weather is good. I can't not get into Wales I think I've gone to Wales every year since I was 19 either by car or bike and my missus has been to Wales this year but I haven't, it's just not right

Cut slicks or slick slicks?

If it's the latter you'll be pulled if they spot you.
