Come up north instead. Some of us are having a ride around North Wales.

See the rideouts section (there's a sticky near the top) for details. Meeting Ponderosa on the saturday, most are staying over in Llanberis, and going back via Welshpool.

I used to own a budgerigar, but what's that got to do with a 'ride-out'?

I've been to builth Wells bike rally many times over the years and it is always a good laugh.

They have mini motors there bands on in the evening in the beer tent/building and normally stunt riders around as well.

If your planning on going and camping over the weekend you will be entertained the whole weekend and it's a great friendly atmosphere!

I have to say I'm not terribly keen on the idea of camping, we'll probably go up and back in a day if we do go.

I've been once in 2004 for a day I think. My memory's terrible, they had a few show bikes, some stalls, and stunt rider. A nice day out.

A day trip will be worth it too there is lots to do up there and a building full of bike parts that are being sold off.. IIRC

Going on the last day is always a good bet for some bike bargains ;)
