Buy some knee guards by the way....the you wont have the same issues as last time!

I do have knee guards, they might well find their way into the boot this time

I was thinking of suggesting the weekend of **SEE BELOW** Really would like to get a couple of ladies to come with to keep Toni company, she's not riding a full on MTB right now either, but will probably bung some slightly more knobbly tyres on the hybrid before we head up there...

18th & 19th is good for me, as its the end of half term week, unless my wife has booked a holiday somewhere

Ah, 18th I'm racing at innerleithen Ah well, no matter, was a long shot whether I'd make it anyway!

Good date for us....... Lily has said she will happily try the green routes, which there is at both Llandegla & CoedYBrenin. Plus, both have blue if the ladies want a little more. Will probably hire her a bike so she is more comfortable.

Happy days, will be good to catch up also Mark.

Re accomodation, any thoughts on maybe finding a bunkhouse or b&b maybe?

Definitely!! We made it to the AR last year but a lot of the lot from down south weren't able to, they were missed!!

About dates and accomodation, I don't mind moving it forward to early Feb if people are happy, I'm really keen to go as soon as possible - it's gonna be great!!

Accomodation wise, BnB or bunkhouse sounds good, cheap is the keyword, should be out of season I'd imagine...

You could do this if you want . Weekend of the 18th would be fine, I need a mattress for the spare bed, but I'm sure that would be sorted by then.

I'll be up for a ride too.

I'll may be up for this... I'm working away the weeks either side of that weekend so I would need to gauge how castrated I would be by Kerry for taking another day out away from home.

Mike you're a star!! We also have a double blow up mattress which is very comfy if that might help? Sorry to hear you had a gravity overdose...

OK, I really hate to be a pain but I've just found that the 18/19th weekend won't work for us, and it's also the end of half term... Can people make it if we move it forward to the 4/5th or the 11/12th February?

Let me know what you think...

I may be up for this
I'll have to confirm nearer the time though.

we would not be able to make it, have a wedding to attend on the weekend of the 4th (which I had forgotten about), plus Lily has a study course weekend of 11th and both of us are away (which I had also forgotten about).

But nevermind, there are always more opportunities.
