NO chance mate! To be fair, I didn't even try. Assumed it will be sold out and expensive but I will be watching it on Telly. I suppose you now have a free Sunday to play!

what's the level/attitude of the group?

They have a great attitude!

Its all good. Mixed group including women riders and pillions. The key is the drop off system. A guy up front with the directions is quick but controlled. The tail end charlie will sweep up everything in between but is rather slooow. So everyone between TEC and lead can ride at their own pace, with a few of the quicker riders marking the route along the way.

One or two stops for fuel, coffee and cake are scheduled. Before a big meet and lunch at the Ponderosa cafe, where some North Walean bikers are due to descend.

Some are joining us from your way so will probably meet us at crossgates and will then be peeling off back home on the way back.

Apparently they were cheaper than Anfield tickets.

I do have a free Sunday

You don't want to stay in, you want to go ride around the Welsh countryside.

I do

But I'll have my lady with me

I've tried to persuade her to come on the back but she's having none of it at the minute. I'm dying to get out, but I'll have to see what she says (can't believe I've become one of those guys...)

Sad, so very sad

Good news is I'm also free for the 24th

Sad indeed, I know.

24th or the 26th? The Big rideout is on Sunday 26th. If you didn't want to go all the way, you could join me & some others from Cardiff to meet up with the rest on the way to Crossgates and then find your way back.

I'll be going all the way, but don't expect we'll be coming back until 5ish so it might be a pretty long day for you if you did go all the way. Its gonna be a big one for sure though

Or the 26th lol

Can always improvise an alternative more direct route back if needs be.

Yeah, that's it. Should be a good day out.
