Jelster, Good man.

Im going to satrt yet another thread for the date. If you can come up with the orute Steve, then we can work out a start/end for accomodation for the travelers, and look for a couple of the campsites for those of us who do camping. Groovy

I've come into this a bit late. I've been struggling for ideas too.

I discussed this problem with Ed (sythree) and darylb down the pub the other night and we thought somewhere in mid to south Wales would be good.

Ed reckons that the A44 from Leominster to Bluith Wells and up the A483 to Llandrindod Wells would make a cracking run. Some great roads and brilliant scenery. We need to find a decent cafe to meet up at and there is a bikers cafe half way along this run for pee and drink.

We're just waiting for the weather to improve so that we can carry out a test run and see if it's long enough and fun enough

So the choice is yours, I can organise this for June (12th).....or.....someone else can organise something elsewhere and I'll the publicity! I don't mind either way.

The above really is a cracking ride. Start at Leominster [BTW it's pronounced 'Lemster' ] (or Hereford), take the A44 headed south west, it turns right at a junction, stay on it through Kington, till you get to a roundabout just beyond Penybont. The road has some great straights and some perfect twisties, and the scenery is brilliant - starts off olde worlde English and opens up into beautiful hilly Wales. At the roundabout is a bikers' cafe - big one - plenty of room, with a petrol station. Then right, up the A483 towards Newtown - again, a great biking road. Hadn't got much further than that in thought terms, as I live in Shrewsbury and the obvious way home is through Welshpool, but then to get back to Leominster or Hereford makes it a L-O-N-G ride. So maybe, cut back along the A489 to Bishop's Castle (this really is the town that time forgot), the A488 to Clun (lovely little place), Knighton & through the lanes back to Leominster.

Dig out the atlas & have a look. Whatcha think

i think it sounds like a nice ride. I further think that you could provide a link to a streetmap page or something seeing as this is the internet.

Dig out the atlas?... havnt seen it in ages tbh

What about the eastern counties, we've got some lovley roads in norfolk and theres more bikes/bikers here than i have seen anywere else.

And i live here

if you can get me there I'm up for that run, its not far only 42 miles!!!

To be honest you 'Southies' don't know what ure missing by saying NO to comong to Scotland... I can think of at least 15 20 runs we could do that would blow you away... Starting with Glasgow to Inveraray and back Via the Green Welly @ Tyndrum... Or Glasgow to Callander, upto Killin then along the top of Loch Tay into Aberfeldy and back via Crieff and Knockhill!!!

Only problem with goin anywer were there are loads of bikes is there normally is loads of police!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which isnt a good thing!!!!! and especially such a large group like ours!!!!!!! places off the beaten track and not in wales!!!!!!!!!!! It is not a biker friendly place!!!! spend a lot of time there and it is definately gettin worse

Just a note on the date, Can someone look at the race calender, as last years was on Silverstone BSB day.

not to fussed about where or when, but as some of us follow the races and have already planned to attend them, it would be a shame to have to miss it because of a clash of dates again.

Cheers Mark.
