+1. More so as I originally kicked off NW rideouts, then due to work & family crap, Mike took over (he's done a better job than I ever did anyhow :) ). Due to those same commitments I haven't been in a position to plan anything last year really, and unfortunately it looks the same for this year.

As others have said, I'm hoping to get out on the bike & meet you reprobates more this year (weekly/fornightly etc meets being the priority for me TBH). Something happened last night which may make that more of a possibility too. :)

I know that , but in all fairness Claire your not the "Fancy a Beer knocking around Llandudno tonight ? , Taxi will be there in 20 minutes" type of friends are you :D ,

I'm not all that far away fella. :) If you fancy a night in Bangor some time, and I'm free/have the cash etc, I have a permanent live-in babysitter (Jen) and a sofa-bed. I'm sure you'd feel like you were encroaching on family etc a bit, so would offer the same in return out of duty/guilt. :)

As far as non-biking events are concerned, I know it won`t be everybody`s cup of tea , some of you may jump at the chance , some of you work shifts and have families and have even bigger Fish to fry , or may even think that my idea just plain outright sucks.

Go-karting could be good, couple of options there being near Caernarfon (indoor) or down the A5 not too far from Mike's (outdoor) - I went to this one not long ago with work. There's also a kart track on the island, but that's probably too far out for most folk.

Paint-balling another possibility.

EDIT: Ice skating/go-karting at Deeside too, but ice skating isn't really my thing unless the kids are there & I can laugh at them falling over. :D (shhh, that's not cruel!)

Also if you look at the main forum page you have general stuff about bikes and help with SV`s , then scroll down and it gives you the threads about gear and Twiddly bits and right at the bottom are the general areas for each part of the UK . Have a sniff about in there and see who is based nearer to you , and failing that , just pop in there and say Hi , hope this is of some help :)
