Its very unlikely I'm afraid as I think I am away but those roads will not disappoint and fingers crossed for the weather, it must surely improve soon.

Start off at Abergavenny, all to fill up with fuel at either petrol station in Abergavenny or crickhowell.. I want everyone on an even starting of fuel, as we do head off into no mans land as it were.. not that many petrol stations where we are going!
along A40, turn off A40 near Tretower, and head up towards Talgarth, very very nice biking road... catch teh A470 just off Talgarth and take that to Rhayader, we will then head off down the Elan valley... and stop at the Elan Valley visitors centre.. situated at the bottom of the first resevoir in the valley... may take a fuel stop along the A470 between Builth and Rhayader..
once people have had fag/pee break at Elan valley pit stop, we will head off for a handful of miles until we get to the last resevoir of the valley... we cross over the top of it to park ont he other side, fag break.. and pee for those who want to pee in the bushes.. then get ready to go over the mountains...
headtowards Devils bridge, then towards Aberystwyth.. aim for the marina.. and get to the sea front.. fag/pee/food stop... admire other bikers bikes etc... then after that grub stop, head off down the coast, and take road off to Lampeter.. minding which one we take, as one goes through Llanddewi Brefi..... and we dont want any of you aquiring signs there.... get eventualy back onto the A40, head to Llandovery and stop at the West End cafe....... again, ery popular bikers cafe... more food for those who want it... or coffee etc.. then its the A40 back to Abergavenny bus station... for a whopping 170 mile round trip...
if required, can try to shave a few miles off this, but cant really see how without by passing the good bits...

I liiiiiiike, i very excite!(Borat)

O and a question... Is this going to be for the quicker of riders as there is a lot less going at the moment than the AR?

As ever, speed will be relative to posted limits and conditions. This particular gathering is a social with a rideout, and to be honest, if you go fast you'll miss out on some great scenery and burger vans, eh VB? :thumbsup:

Plowsie, judging on the rideup & back to M6 (I wasn't with you around the AR route), you'll do fine with the pace I suspect we'll be doing on the route put up by VB.

Yes, you're on 33bhp and your bike has very little top end, but we won't be spending that much time up there anyway. I think the only reason I had to keep waiting for you on the way to the M6 was because it was straight line filtering, not something that 33bhp is good for, but I wouldn't call you a slow rider from experience of you.

Just watch where the bends are going, esp as you say the back road coming out of Slaidburn caught you out a little. Vanishing point theory helps a LOT, but it only helps if you remember it whlist you're on the bike. ;)

Re: AE 7.5 (or 7 1/2)

Stick me down as a deffo for camping please (I'll come down Friday night).

Now all I've got to do is make sure the bike behaves itself this time!:p
