Jolly in Wales this weekend - SV650.org

Gratings from afar!

I'm off to do a climbing course at Plas-Y-Brenin in Capel Curig and no doubt will be free for a beer in the evenings- anyone fancy hooking up for a pint and a hi?

I'll be arriving on Friday and leaving on Monday (barring falls, being avalanched on or worse- mauled by yaks). I'll probably confine myself to the Centre bar- it's open to the public, apparently- as, er I'll be there and can't be arsed to ride anywhere else. Plus I don't touch a drop of the bowze when on the bike.

It's my first big long trip- 250 miles there. And funnily enough, 250 miles back too! Most I've done in a day is about 150 before so It's gonna be a real adventure!

So- that'll be no-one then!

Sniff..... :0[

Awwww m8 ... after travelling all that way, I'd have thought someone from the Border Patrol would have offered

Sorry can't make it myself as I have my kids for half-term.

Try PM'ing LuckyPants or Baph tho ... they are probably closest to that area

Cheers Pedro. I would have thought indeed that at least Baph would've piped up...

Shame. I'd offer meself about for a quick ride about before I go home on Monday- but being the longest journey I've undertaken so far on my Suzie, I'm not sure if my 'arris will take the extra mileage!!!

Well was kinda weighing up in me mind whether to come over.... If I can persuade me lad to drive I could have a beer. Might do a bit of climbing (read falling off) on the wall if I can come over....

PM me your number, I'll see what pans out.

Lovely. PM'ed.

Any other takers?

Yeah, I ain't really done a long ride on the SV yet ... done Liverpool -> London -> The Ponderosa -> Liverpool in the space of 2 days (about a round trip of something like 500 miles), but that was on a CBF1000 :/ An hour commute on the SV and I'm wanting a break. Not because of my 'arris ... but cos of all the pressure on the wrists ... fingers start to go numb! I'm sure you'll love the long ride tho

25-10-07, 10:51 AM

Indeed- I'm thinking of A roads, rather than Mway- more pleasant/less monotonous. Should be lovely, with regular breaks!

25-10-07, 11:08 AM

Sorry, I cant pop over either got things on Im afraid

25-10-07, 12:24 PM
