South Wales Contingent?

Right, chaps and chapettes,

What are the thoughts about the rideout?

Do we want to go and "have it large" the night before and stay over (camping or B&B), or so we want to head out of here early on the day of the rideout?

Maybe some with want to do one and some will want to do the other.

What say you?

I dunno about camping- I don't really fancy carrying tent/sleeping bag etc. on the bike during the rideout. I'm always a bit paranoid with any more luggage than a tank bag on the bike.

I'd be up for BBQ though. Or, if we camped in South Wales, I could nip home, drop off my tent, etc. the morning after, then come back for the rideout.

We could combine the two. As unenvironmentally friendly as they are, the disposable BBQs work a treat. You can fit 2/3 in a largish tankbag, too

Ceri, we would ride up. Camp and ditch the gear, do riding related activities, then collect the gear.

Although its near home for me I still think it would be fun to camp for a night or so and have a good drinky! Whatever i shall probably hook up with you chaps.

I’m not into camping, so not keen on staying over.

I’m in for the early rise, spend the day and finish with the BBQ.

I'll second Mogs.. Ive done enough camping for one lifetime! Plus I dont ride too well with a hangover!

Make it 3 - if there's a B&B involved then Mrs J will want to come too

Me either, that's why I've asked if people want to go up on the Friday and have a few drinkies, then the saturday have a general social thing.

Hiya lads n Lasses,

Not sure on the camping thing. As I guess Nagai will be coming (As he usually does get invited by jonboy) So he'll be coming to my house first.
The I guess, my other mucka with an SV will be making his way down with him???

But whatever you lot decide on doing - count me in

Hi all,

I think this is going to come around sooner than you think. So what's the plan?
As yesterday was truly awesome!

Looking at the map, and having ridden over that way last week, we can easily make Burford in an hour and a half of calm riding.

How about a number of meeting points (like Saturday), say J32 of M4 three hours before the start of the rideout, Bassaleg HS 20 mins after that and Aust another 20mins later?

This way we'll have time to regroup and collect those who get lost, time for a Little Chef Breakfast and time to fuel up all in a relatively easy and unpressured way. We'll also have time to "press the flesh" and put names to faces/avatars before the rideout kicks off

OK, it might mean a 7:00am start from Cardiff...........

What says everyone?
