Newtown to Crossgates.... - SV650.org

Ok now i've got your attention

Saturday 21st May

A ride starting in Ruthin at the Texaco garage and finishing in Bala, taking in the Tanat Valley road, the A483 down to Crossgates

the road from Llanidloes to Machynlleth we did on Eds ARTNW, and then north up towards Ffeistiniog and the B4391 back to Bala

This basically

Had spoken to Chris about organising but unfortunately he's had to drop out. Soooooo anyone up for this?*

*Just a word of warning, not trying to put anyone off but it could potentially be a long day this with getting to and from Bala, i.e for me it'll be just over 300 miles for the day. So there won't be any long lunch stops or much time for pics! But plenty of awesome roads at a "spirited" pace shall we say

sound like fun?

Binky has been arranging a ride in that area on the 21st... Check the madlanders section. Could combine them or at least meet up.

It's not the ability so much mate, it's mental, I need that fear of binning my bike and dying turning off in my head lol

The sprint can be heavy bike to throw around as well, just getting all my excuses in now

I'd love too, as that is one of my favourite routes, but will only be able to say yay or nay Thursday before.
