Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Right you horrible lot, it's been a LOOOONG time since we have had a ride out, so I thought I would put the feelers out.

What are people doing on Monday? It's a bank holiday don'tcha know. I know the Porlock weekend is this weekend and I hope you guys have a GREAT weekend but for those that are not doing Porlock, do you fancy getting out?

I am going up north this weekend but will be back on Sunday.

My plan is to set off from Morrisons in Chippenham at 10:00 at head over to Wales (could pick people up from Aust services before the old bridge if needed), then I am to go and terrorise the Welsh roads and have a little trip to Abergavveny and Brecons and stuff. Hell I might even revisit alot of the AR10 route.

So there we have it, a flaky plan but let me know if you fancy it, if you do I will make an actual route and aim to be back to Chippenham for early evening.

PEACE

A possibility here, although I will be pillion on Carol's bike due to my bike being in Bike Hospital. You OK for a couple of ropey old tarts (Well, I am ropey and she is a tart!) on a lovely ZRX1100 tagging along? ;-)

Will let you know ASAP if we can make it.

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Sad to report that Carol and I wont be able to make it folks. However, on the good news side of things I have a lovely new niece born at just after five AM this morning!

All being well, I shall spend an hour or so cuddling the latest addition to our family. I love being an Aunty.

Hugs all round

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Well will be at Aust services at 10:00 and leave at 10:30 if anyone does fancy it. Might not be an all day'er then.

Probably go to Abergavveny, then either off to Llandovery and then follow the AR route from there or possibly off to Rhyader and the Elan Valley.

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

What time would you think for leaving Aust?

I was planning to have a good morning blast and be in deepest darkest Wales by lunch time, we've got someone dropping in on the digs during the day but do need to be back

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

I wouldn't fancy waking up much before 10.

Don't worry about me as I don't think thats going to fit in with the rest of the plans.

28-08-11 08:10 PM

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Let me ask again, what time could you make it? It currently looks like it will just be you, me, Grunty and ValleyBoy at Aust

squirrel_hunter

28-08-11 08:16 PM

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

About 11:30. Possibly.

And since when did VB get his passport back?

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Dude that's too late, especially for a 'possibly'.

** EDIT **

I should have just rang you really ; )

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Yeah thats why I said not to worry about me.

And as for phoning, since when do we ever take the easy option?

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Now now children !
My passports been renewed since i got a working bike back again... Got something i can go around on without doing my back in! Fireblade was nice, but changed for a Viffer late last year... And not a measly 800cc version either !

28-08-11 08:34 PM

Re: Ride on bank holiday Monday? Chippenham -> Wales express

Cool, right then back to plan B.

Will be at Aust at 10:00 and will leave Aust at 10:30

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=aust...8&vpsrc=0&z=15

So far looks like just me, Grunty and ValleyBoy. Still open for others

Gurl.

Route will be:

- Aust services to Abergavenny
- Abergavenney to Llandovery
- Llandovery to Builth Wells
- Builth Wells to Aberdare
- Aberdare to Abergavenny
- Abergavenny to Aust services

Hopefully that'll entice someone / ANYONE out of the woodwork
