NORTH WALES RIDE OUT - 28th NOVEMBER

Sorry guys had a manic couple of days, problem when you work shifts.

Ed I got your route ideas the first one sounds very good. I'm yet to plot it on the map but i'm happy to follow your lead as not too hot on routes round wales. Hence me asking for advice.

If your up for it maybe we should set the official date as Sunday 28th NOVEMBER 2010 (cleared this with the wife) and the start time of 9am given the evenings getting darker sooner.

Is this ok for everyone else? Will this give me enough to refuel every 120miles? Ed are you ok to lead the way?

I'm not too fast and welcome any one who wishes to join us. I havent met any fellow posters before so will be a nice opportunity for me.

The route may alter slightly given the weather on the day. There is a map at the bottom of my last thread if it helps.

Any of you in?

Yep I'll be there. If we're setting off at 9, what time do you want peeps to show up?

Will have to dig out my thermals

Yep you will have enough fuel to get around. It ain't that far!!! Tim I suggest you fill up at Tescos in Wellington or else at the BP in Holyhead Road by the Red Lion, will save having to go to Tescos in Shrews.

Yep I'm happy to lead

8.45 at salop caravans should be alright, will give us a bit of time just to get any last minute changes to the route sorted if necessary and exchange numbers in case someone gets lost.

Passed a black SV this morning coming off m54 junction 5 on way to work - anyone here? On my blue pointy... would have waved wildy but for being 45 degrees to the road around the slip road. That and i'm shy
