View Full Version : Ride Out 27th April 2008 - Welsh Way Round IV.
Some people have hinted that its time to tackle the Welsh Way Round again. We last did it towards the end of 2006 and there are lots of new Surfers.
Ive picked a Sunday for this one as there are many riders that cant manage the usual Saturdays.
Date/Time/Where meet?
Sunday 27th April 2008
Usual meeting point Severn View Services (aka Aust) usual time 11.00am to depart at 11.15am. Finish at junction 32 M4 Cardiff at approx 5.00pm.
The route (same as before, no recce needed) is here(.pdf) (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/twoponds/nest/WWR3.pdf) or here (.axe Autoroute 2006) (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/twoponds/nest/Aust2CastellCoch_V2.axe)
As always we will be using the Drop Off (http://www.gwent-advanced-motorists.org/bikes/drop_off_sys.htm)system to mark out route. Please have a full tank of fuel on departure.
Same as we do on every SWS Rideout concerning the safety element, I suggest that we all print out the form below, complete it, no need to hand it to anyone just have it with you, Put it in the map pouch of your tank bag (or somewhere equally obvious).

This will be my 4th Ninja T2B rideout so its a bit of an annual ritual really.Something that must be done.
thought about going on some of the Ninja ride outs, what they like?? fast and manic or is there room for a more gentle paced rider ??
ninja bobw
17-01-08, 07:17 PM
A mixture of both depends whose on the rideout really but as with all rideouts its better to arrive late than never.No different to some of the ones on here.

Sorry me neither, I'm with Bobw on the Ninja weekend away. Afraid I wouldn't miss the T2B for anything and I've done the first Welsh Way and had a (wet) great day out. Just a pity they clash.

Its a shame you cant make it, but whatever weekend is selected there is always a clash with something for someone.

If I'm there, which is looking likely, I'll do the T.E.C. bit.

Luckliy I am allowed to do pretty much (within the normal social conventions that we live under :lol:) what I like. However as someone has given us the present of a couple of days hidden away I think it might be a little rude to pop off riding to Wales :lol:

Bring the lucky lady (unless you're having a Civil Ceremony, in which case please excuse my presumption) with you for a fun day out with the lads* :D
* you'll be divorced inside a week after she's met us, though :(

Well done Moggsy, it will probably be the first chance in 08 to stretch the bird's "legs" and a great opportunity to catch up with you all, except Tony of course, who will no doubt be making "good progress" around the route ;)

Nothing, I'd just lost my balace there and was kind of relying on that other guy to stop me falling and giving away a penalty. That was such a good game.
Anyways, was anyone in South Wales Super bikes this morning? Saw a couple of SV's outside and was wondering if they belonged to any of the org. Lush day today, to be fair!!

what colour and pointy or curvy?
Rhiwbina_Squirrel
30-03-08, 03:07 PM
Couple of silver pointys, about midday
silver eh? that could be mogs, tel or fallen angel
if they were blue it could be welsh wizard or ollie07
or if it was red and in bits, that would be lemmings
i think that just about covers the taffias SV's
HTH

Was definitely silver. Saw the SV I wanted and my folks seem pretty happy with it so fingers crossed!!

I should be able to make this. I'm looking forwards to it, I've not been on a social ride in bloody ages. Ironically, because I've been spending so much time doing up my garage.

Sounds like a plan mate. Aber to Llandovery, 1000 sheep road, that other road and the black mountains would be good. Could shoe horne Builth Wells and beyond in as well sometime. Roll on Summer :riding:
