Went for a great ride yesterday. Nipped along the M4 from Bridgend and got off at Junction 48and then followed the coast road.
Down to Llanelli, along the coast to Burry Port and then up through Kidwelly to camarthen where we stopped for a coffee. From Camarthen we went down to st clears and then onto Pembroke dock where we crossed the Neyland toll bridge. 35p for bikes and it took us ages to get our gloves off :twisted: get the money out and find the right change :twisted: and then put our gloves back on :roll: :roll:
From there we nipped up to Haverford West and then back onto the coast road to Newgale - very very very windy. But as we climbed the hill on the other side of Newgale the view was spectacular.
Stopped for lunch in the Brains pub at Solva where we had a lovely Jacket spud with tuna and salad with some nice warm coffee.
Back onto the bikes we headed out to St Davids and Jas decided that the McDonalds we had yesterday had upset him so we started looking for loos. A warning to the wise don't get the squits in Feb in west wales - all public toilets are closed :lol: :lol: :lol: :pottytrain5:
We followed the coast to fishguard and onto Cardigan - Jas has a really funny look on his face now. we head up to Aberaeron where there is an open toilet. He took forever so I took some piccies. From there we headed out towards Aberwystwyth where we planned to find a hotel and spend the night - after hunting around we decided that £130 for B and B was a little steep so headed home.
Through the West wales lanes, in very cold conditions I found out that I had a tow bar on my bike and managed to tow an arsehole in a van. He was so close at one stage that when I slowed approaching a hairpin his front end overtook my back wheel and only just missed me. Very scary so pulled in to let the W****er pass and compose myself :cry: :cry: :cry:
We rode back to Camarthern where we stopped for another coffee and then took the main road back to the M4 and home to Bridgend.
All in all Lovely day about 290 miles in total. Longest I have riden my bike for and I found it great. No sore arse which I am very pleased about.
If I can get some piccies uploaded I will but apologise for the quality in advance -(there is a BMW GS spoiling the view in alot of them :pottytrain4:
