Default The Rideout Thread - Summer 2010

Following on from Electro's thread about the AR and the blindingly successful Buxton Chippy run. Here's a thread for suggestions for rideouts. I'll go first...

  • Ice Cream run to Aber Dyfi, home of the awesome 'Sweet Shop Special' ice cream. A meal in itself!
  • Backroads Bimble - on minor roads / single track at a slow pace to take in the scenery.
  • PROVISIONALLY - 24/25/26 September NWR6.5, same format as NWR6.
As I'll be organising these, they will be North/Mid Wales rides.

Any other suggestions?

Backroads one sounds like fun. There's a corker of a road from Dinas Mawddwy to Llyn Efyrnwy.

Agreed the backroads sounds good!

Fish & Chips at Conwy last year was nice. I'm happy to put something together for that but again it's North Wales based (doesn't bother me, I love those roads!).

I'll be up for the backroads and NWR6.5. Let me know when you need paying for the NWR

There has certainly been a lot less rides this year than normal in all regions

The peak district is pretty rubbish now, bores me now with to many 40's

I'll try and sort a Leicestershire/Lincolnshire one out as we've been spending alot of time down there.

Sorry for the hijack.
