First Ride Out

If someone wanted to arrange a ride-out for this area I'd definitely be down for it, even if it was just a couple of us

Usual routes take in Aber, Brecon, Builth/Llandod etc. This is in your vicinity so you could easily meet up with those coming from the South. Past attendees have come from Bristol/Chippenham/Swindon even which is quite a ways.

Alternatively, if there's good roads up Hereford way then I'd do it.

Main problem is the weather and dates. Last Saturday for example was perfect for an Autumn ride but such days are few and far between now. Just had a look at the monthly outlook (weather) and you can basically write off October.

I really want to do a Wales ride, and I know a friend or two who might be interested too. The weather is pretty awful, but there's bound to be a few dry days.

Happy to join in if you get something organised. Saturdays or Sundays are OK for me.

Some good roads around Herefordshire but I prefer Welsh roads due to their better condition!

Did a trip out to Aberystwyth once on a 125 to have an ice-cream on the beach front, thats a nice road.

Weekends can be a problem for me as I work in the afternoons. I can get time off, but weekdays are easier.

Weekdays are definitely the best time to be riding in Wales. Fewer caravans, and 35mph flat cap Rover drivers. Fewer of the two wheeled loons intent on getting their knee down on public roads full of weekend traffic.

Weekday riding is a much more enjoyable affair.

I have some time off work 1st/2nd (Thu/Fri) November with nothing to do at the moment if anyone fancies going for a ride?

Just so you know, North Wales police have a speeding crackdown at the moment, not directed at bikes in particular but they are very active with speed guns and not just the vans.

Stick to the posted limits in 30s and 40s for sure and be wary on roads that invite high speeds.

The 1st could work for me, weather permitting.

If you put a possible route out there that would be a start. Some people might show interest depending on how easy it is to get to or how far one would have to ride to make a meet point. I could find the time off but would be unwilling to ride more than an hour to a meet point.
