Default Re: Abersoch 21st March (Sunday)

That's me home, rode from Bala to Central Brum in one stint and couldn't bear to sit on the bike any longer to I hopped off for a rest for 10 minutes.

Waved goodbye to Ed at Shrewsbury, then to RavingDavis about Telford somewhere and opened the taps to get home. Solid traffic on M6 and narrow lanes through roadworks, so it was just a wee bit too tight to filter a lot of it without collecting a few wing mirrors, so had to sit in the queue. Then through Sparkhill, Shirley then home. Couldn't cope with any more M6/M42, needed something to wake me up.

Great day, but boy am I going to be sore tomorrow! Thanks Ed, thanks Mike, and thanks everyone for the company

Home, bike washed, me showered, beer and birerani (sp) on the go. Left Regency on the A55 at Chester, he off to Liverpool so not sure if he's able to post. Cracking day, thanks to Ed and Mike for leading/teccing and everyone else. Nice to meet some peeps i've not met before

Christopher - I didn't realise your alternative road to the A494 was the Llandegla Moor one, one of my fave roads that, had a blast coming back over there and bumping into you and Mel again

Oh, and a brownie point for the first person to name the make, model and colour of the unmarked Police car who tried to get behind us, but couldn't. Near Llanbedrog.

Would that be the silver Skoda Octavia Estate parked on the right hand side of the road at a T angle with a single (well he may be attached, but he was alone in that car!) bloke in a police vest?
