Return to the Black Mountains anyone ?? 1st April - SV650.org

13-03-06, 09:54 PM

Right, as the weathers getting warmer.. (yeah right!)

I was wondering who amongst you would like to do the Black Mountains again ?? the same route as last time, stop at Llandovery for grub... and if the weather is sunny and warm.. try and find a place to park the bikes!

Those of us who went last time, might get to see a Ducati out in the cold again!

but with a lot more other bikes about!
Wont be able to tell if the ice cream van will be ontop of the mountain or not though... as it was a tad old last time we were there!

Was also up on that mountain on saturday.. on the bike.. and it was sleeting!

As for date.. not this month!

Most likely sometime in April

Will mull over a date, and post in advance....

this time, lets pray for no horse boxes on the twisties... and the sun not be low enough in the sky as to be a pain in the ass when going round a bend at 60!

I was in South Wales on Saturday, All I know is that I got off the M48 went towards Monmouth and took a left turn towards Usk?? Then I just kept taking A and B roads and ended up in Brecons?? Fantastic day

Sounds good to me.

Very tempted as i've never been round that area before.

very nice roads.. can do them fast or slow... miles and miles of twisty bits.... then we have grub, then more twisty bits.. and up to the top of a mountain with excellent views of the Black Mountains and surrounding area.... twisty bits down hill.... could turn round and do them again... etc!

not a good route to do if its going to rain, as the roads are challenging enough in the dry.. plus as we go up quite high at one point, we will be right in the clouds then!

not a long ride out by any means, but a few hours of fun.... can take in Baldymans favorite road then

though I have a feeling plod will start patrolling that road shortly... especialy when the weather brightens up...

as said, a weekend in April will do.. will try and give a minimum of a weeks advance warning... all weather dependant!
