Default Re: S&WS AR10 Ride In - Friday 6th August

Well, Severn View (Aust) Services is a great meeting point, just before the tolls...no, you don't have to pay when on a bike. When you go over the bridge, be ready to be smacked by wind if there is any kind of breeze in the air, it's not bad or anything, just be prepared for it, i.e. don't pass a lorry too close to it or ride too close to the barriers.

When you get off the bridge...two big roundabouts, then left at a mini roundabout takes you onto this road and immediately into the twisties They last the length of the road and are a good indication of the twisties you'll get on the AR

I'd like to meet you at Aust services if possible please - that way I won't be doing a 40 mile double back.

Will go TEC if you like - just give me a map, just in case

Done - Although dependant on group size we may not have a dedicated TEC.

I will be editing the OP to include a stop at Aust (Severn View) Services and a change of route to include the Chepstow > Abergavenny road.

Oh and I will have a few copies of the route details with me for those that want it.

Have two routes planned? Becuase if the weather isn't up to scratch the Chepstow to Aber road can cause more problems that it's worth?

And thanks - what sort of time do you estimate for Aust servies?

Finally - RichT, can you lay your hands on some Hampshire 'BoxingDog' cider? They used to sell it on Southampton Uni campus in old plastic milk containers...it's the mutts nutts.

That road won't cause too many problems if it's just wet, rainy or windy...the tarmac as you know Ben is awesome and smooth and a good surface for grip.

If it's super duper stormy weather...still not a lot of point changing the route as there are no major routes to the campsite whever you come from....all are roads similar to the Chepstow - Aber road.

Oh and Ben.........WOOOOO HOOOOO...see you there!

Actually I have no doubt we'll see you before
