Unfortunately it's not on the way to Barmouth from Chester, worst of it is the roads to get there from Chester are DULL with a bigger D than that.

I've endured the hour of dual carriage/roundabout hell to get there several times.

Hope this weather picks up for the BPW! It's stopped raining and it's warmer and brighter now but the long range forecast isn't encouraging. I'll bring the Ludo, and Snakes and Ladders boards with me.

Just over a week to go! Weather forecast has improved a bit from what it was.

I'd better get my new rear tyre ordered otherwise I'll be riding around on a slick!!

I've got a feeling the new bike has a flatted off rear tyre. Annoying as I just fitted the PR4 on the SV front and rear only a few hundred miles before selling it.

I was avoiding making such a bold statement but secretly keeping everything crossed.

Finally got out on the bike for a quick blast this evening and all the prep I have put in appears to have paid off just a small matter of a few days work and flight home but getting so excited for this.

On the plus side, I won't need to bother washing the bike before the trip.
