Default Re: Barmouth or Bust - Saturday 4 April

Such a perfect day... only we didn't drink sangria in the park.

Did a reccie, and apart from two miscreants taking the wrong turn in Bala and going via Trawsfynydd and Harlech oh boy what a fantastic day. We had a BLAST!!!!! I just hope the weather is as good in two weeks time as it was today. I have one of those 'tired but very happy' feelings - and to be honest it was much needed.

Got the timings and mileages, I'm reviewing them to make sure that the sections are manageable, I have a bit of tweaking to do - but not much!! There is nothing beyond the capabilities of an average rider, and the route is OK for new riders - there is nothing scary.

Back soon

Default Re: Barmouth or Bust Banter Box

We had four bikes outside this evening and the curtains were twitching. Just wait for 40!!! I hadn't had the guts to tell Mrs Ed that we would have our very own Bash outside, but I did this morning, she amazed me - she is actually looking forward to it I'm not ging to tell the neighbours, they will find out when it happens. There's plenty of room to park up safely.

Think i'm looking forward to lots of bike noise and confrontational neighbours more than the ride now.... the anticipation.

Speaking as a miscreant, I enjoyed the detour around Harlech.

LOL. Oh dear these are the sort of people who take out an ASBO on you if you put your bin out on the wrong day. I can see a few of them popping their clogs at the shock and terror of it all.
