Serves me right for not going back via Ruithin. 2 pulls in 3 miles on the way back along the A5 between the Ponderosa road and Betws on Sunday afternoon. It was not far shy of harassment. Not speeding, nothing wrong with the bike. Just standard safety checks.....twice.........in 3 miles......by different coppers. Unbelievable. It's good to know they have the safety of the biking community at heart

Still, it was a brill weekend and I'll be back next year. Good to meet all of y'all.

Pete
Cheers mate.

The problems with uncle heddlu were ALL on the A5 if you notice. This is the reason I stay away from it like I would a smelly turd. The Sunday route put us on it for about 2 km and 300 meters in total.

They were equally bad last weekend , but hopefully this was their last hurrah of the year....

But those of us on the Bangor expedition were on the A5 for 23 miles in one direction & 14 miles back.
Didn't realise I was dicing with death at the time, but it was a sweet road.

I thought the same aswell stu!!! Didn't realise we were on the A5 when I found out today I felt very lucky.

I was riding very swiftly to catch up with anybody.

I see the Tippex blew off your plate on the group photo.
There was a Benelli at Olivers Mount with the tricolore? reflector so you have an impostor!
