Weather looks amazing, not a bad turn out for this time of the year also.

[Professor]

Nice. Pity I am so tired and couldn't join in. :(

I call for a steward's enquiry in order to verify the aunthenticity of these photographs. I have been led to believe that you boys' NEVER manage a ride out in anything other than p*ssing down rain! :wink: :P

BTW..outside the café just where that old bird is standing,( tutting at the heaps of junk preventing her crossing the road in the same spot she has since being 5 yerars of age.) Is that red bike with the fairing a late 60's early 70's Triumph by any chance? I am guessing but it is the err hum aero dynamics of the fairing that lead me to think this?(Poss a Norton)

Peter, this is Wales, not Spain. That 'old bird' as you say is probably a right tasty bit of stuff over there.... 8-[

I see you b******s ate ice cream. Now if someone had said ice cream.... :cry:

[Peter Henry]

Rich....I got to admit I kept peering at that ice cream van thinking you had to be close by somewhere! :P

[valleyboy]

:lol: :lol: Yes, this was Wales, My rideouts to date have been in nothing but glorious sunshine ;) That is the West End Cafe, and there was a bus load of old people there.. some of them taking a keen interest in the GSXR-750 that is there :P My bike was parked out of harms way ;)

Though the ride had its sunny moments, it was also very windy, and Im sure anyone that came along will verify, i wouldnt venture more than a few yards from my bike, as I had a fear of it being toppled over! :lol:

The ice cream van wasnt a scheduled stop... but as we had plenty of time left after covering the route, I took everyone to the top of the Rhigos mountain to sample the views, as you can see for bloody miles up there, also warned them that it was that road, but 1/2 a mile further on that Kamikazi sheep venture into the roads :lol: luckily, I took them the opposite direction after our ice creams, and took them to 1000 sheep road.. for which stretchie got rather exciteable at that point, and had to be calmed down! :lol:

Why does that in no way surprise me :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[valleyboy]

Ive got plenty more roads to play about with around here, some very suited to your bike Rich.. if given a long enough day, or a slightly earlier start :lol: there are plenty of places to have a pootle about here.....

WOW, All I'm saying is WOW..

WOW

It went vroooooom, this way then miiiiiiaaaaaoooowwwwwwmmmmmmmmmmm that way then grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII INE A LIGHT that wind is strong"

1000 sheep road is getting done again by me SOON, alone or not I really don't care. ValleyBoy, where is this road, what's the road number???

[anna]

pictures look great glad you had a good ride and some nice weather for it... will be out for the next one :wink:

[valleyboy]

Its the A4059.. it runs from the A470 up by the resevoirs, to the A465 in Hirwaun...

I will arrange this route again shortly, and there is a way to take in 1000 sheep road as well.. it just means we dont go along that STRAIGHT stretch of road at the beginning instead ;) :twisted:


Give us a shout if you do go up there Stretchie, as you and Haxsaw found out, I only live about 5 minutes from all those roads :P

[_Stretchie_]

To be honest I'm not @rsed about big straights anymore. I want to concentrate on cornering, that's where it's at.

Obviously if we hit a straight it'd be rude not to keep up with you :wink:

[valleyboy]

Was on 1000 sheep road earlier... had my sports gloves on, and my summer jacket.. was a bit more agile going round the corners ;) plus a bit keener on the throttle.... best of all.. only 4 vehicles over the entire thing... and one was a subaru :twisted: still bloody cold up there! :shock:

if anyone wants an afternoon / evening buzz around the roads here, give us a shout, will be more than willing to be a tour guide again! :lol: though, you will have to make some effort to get closer to here than me having to go down Magor all the time! :lol:

[DeanoN]

Nice Pics all. I am so gutted I couldn't make this rideout :cry: , 1000 sheep road is without a doubt my favourite even though I've only ridden it a few times.

[Lou M]

Ace!

Nice to see West End Cafe, I've missed going down there. Can you let us know who is who in the pictures?

[The Mass]

Bollox :(


How and when did I miss this?


Note to self: Must pay more attention in SV class. :roll:

[valleyboy]

Half of us aint in the picture :lol: we were on this side of the road taking photos....




Mass.... I will be aranging it again shortly.... :twisted: will take in 1000 sheep road as part of the route this time, and spend more time on the A40 :D
