the welsh hills

[boboneleg]

I had a great day out yesterday in the Welsh hills with all the other forum bods. Mr Mabel took us on a great route and although it was a bit nippy I think most people enjoyed the ride.

Unfortunately Dave (fridge) had a bit of a mishap on his Transalp and took a tumble but he carried on for most of the ride and really hope it hasn't put him off bikes as he's not long passed his test.

we stopped in a picnic area for a chinwag/warm up

It was great day out I think I did nigh on 300 miles from door to door, and I was out from 9am till about 5:45pm. I was knackered when I got back.

Absolutely fantastic scenery, totally awesome. I never fail to be amazed by the welsh country side.

The gang coming through the Abergwesen pass

Discovered this road by accident last year, drove it in my VW camper, I found this a bit hair raising, especially at the Devils Staircase, I really want to do the road again this time on the TA. Looks a great day out, as soon as the weather improves I will have to trek out to Wales for a few days on those great roads.

Envious of Oxford!!

Topping bit of road that I last rode on a pukka dirt bike years ago (along with a number of local off road routes!) It used to be used on the Milk Race round Britain cycle route. A real killer....
