Well, ive just been out on bits of the route, wore my summer jacket and gloves though (bit cold for it actualy!!) its amazing what a pair of thin gloves does to your riding :twisted: bit more twist in the throttle than there should be ;)

Hey, that's my birthday.. If I'm here I'm well up for it. You KNOW which road I want to hit

:D

Oi, go looking for your passport, it's time you came here too you know. Although I think the raods there are better, anyone who disagree's PLEASE correct me and I'll go try the roads you suggest

hell, once I get a new rear tyre put on..... I plan on going a few places! down to that Poole meet thingy for a start.... dont know how long this tyre has left till its done for.... was out earlier doing laps of the roundabouts :twisted:
Think my passport is almost out of date ;) would be nice to cross that god damned bridge in good weather :lol:

Actualy, that reminds me......... I have another plan, which involves us staying not far from the A40 near Llandovery in a place called Cwrt-Y-Cadno... my old school owns a building there, and they rent it out for weekends etc.... my mates dad happens to still be a governer at the school.... so could see about renting the place for a weekend... BBQ and beer etc then :D a S&WS get together in the depths of Wales :lol:


**** up at yours that weekend then Stretchie?? :lol:

Now this sounds interesting, Wales is a long way for a day trip but with an overnight stop in some comfort (i.e. not in a tent) and a chance to do some more Welsh mountain roads :lol: could be a runner. Any more details?

Not sure about the beers at mine but the BBQ and beers sound like a great idea.

Going to have to change my rear soon I think. My last one lasted from July to just before new years.. This one's almost gone....

Oh well, at least it's a sign I'm doing things better

ValleyBoy I'll Pm you with my number, unless you still have ot from a while ago. What kind of times are you thinking for these evening stints.???

I've been going from Weston back to Bristol after work via Cheddar, the mendips and Burrington, 60 miles from work to home instead of about 23 miles...

We can do the ride on that weekedn, as for the weekend event/stay over + beers etc.. I will see about arranging that before confirming... will then need a few dates people can make it.. possibly go there on the friday evening, or some the saturday morning... have a few drinks saturday evening with a few beers.. be warned though, this place is in the middle of nowhere! then pootle back homeward bound on the sunday.

Stretch, dont mind what times, I finish work at usualy 4.30... home by 4.35 if I leave on time ;) Only days I cant make would be wednesdays, I have driving lessons starting tomorrow :?
Im probably going for a spin tonight, but likely down Gower way.... or Abergavenny.... not decided yet!
