we used to have our sadly departed friend "Hovis" in this section and he would beat us into submission if we didnt all meet up. Sadly since his passing we all seem to have lost the jest for it.He would be kicking us all ,if he was here now

Hovis did run the section and I took it up in his stead, but, the fact I am now 300 miles from where I was doesn't help the fact.

If Runako has got the enthusiasm for it, I can't see why he can't make a good show if it

Well it goes without saying that I'm up for that. If we can't go for a rideout in this GLORIOUS weather then something's seriously wrong. If you, like me, are stuck in the office thinking about riding the bike then Valleboy you need to give me something to look forward to Do it, do it!

I am going for a ride after I finish work, so, I am going to be enjoying the weather

It is going to be around for a few days, so, make the most of it!

Problem is, and I can only speak for myself here, that over on the English side of the bridge we used to come and sample your roads alot, we'd come over to Abergavenny for a quick bimble on Thursday nights when we had weekly meetings based in Bristol but now, I/we are a bit older and less likely to get up in the morning at a decent time and it's 65 miles for me just to Aber (which used to be our official starting point for the days riding) and most of that is motorway. Then all day trips for me and Grunty have stopped too because I've got dogs that we can't leave in all day.

Actually, I feel a trip coming on. Anyone remember the Squirrel redundancy ride.... That ended up redundant because of the torrential rain and people falling off?

We could try and actually do it

There is no life left in your section, everybody opened their eyes, realised that fate had landed them in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Pontypool, Methyr Tydfil, Neath, and the valleys, and they all promptly committed suicide
