Welsh Invasion - Saturday

[Sharribee]

For all those planning on arriving on the the Saturday I have started this thread, so we can plan where to meet and how far you want to ride, which direction you will be coming from that kind of stuff.

So lets start with which route are you going to be coming into Wales from

Hi Sharibee

Stormforce8 and I will be coming over the new Severn bridge. Probably about mid-afternoon. Is the plan to arrive Saturday and ride on the Sunday or ride on both days? Due to where we live it's about a 3 hour ride to get to the Severn bridge, so we probably won't want to ride out again for too long when we arrive - I was thinking check in at the B&B, have a shower and open a bottle of wine and make some new friends

Well Deb and I will leave Saturday around 9 am.We will take a nice easy drive down to wales and also will come over the Severn Bridge.
We would be up for a ride till maybe 6ish and go to the Hotel,shower,have some food and a few drinks

[Sharribee]

How about we meet you at Junction 32 M4 at about 2pm then we could go up the A470 to the brecon beacons, over the mountains then and the back way into Bridgend. It will take about a hour and a half maybe 2 if we stop at RAC corner for a cup of tea. From where we meet it is 65 miles to bridgend taking the scenic route. On the M4 it is about 20.

We should be in Bridgend by 4 - 430 at the latest which will give you all a chance to freshen up and we can get together in the pub for something to eat and a few drinkies. (there is a pub next door but the one down the road - the Tyrisha Inn is a bit better, it is only 5 minutes walk but the food is worth it. The beer is better at the Tyrisha as well)

How is that for a plan

[Lord Vader]

Sounds Ace
Yep we are up for that
Would that be the same road Jason took us on in Feb over the Breacon's?

[Stormforce8]

Sounds good to me

And just to avoid ANY confusion this is for Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April ?

I might come meet you guys on the sunday if you'll be having a ride about then? It's a nice route for me straight down the A40 to breacon

[Sharribee]

It is definately the Saturday we are talking about on Sunday DDY will meet us in the ASDA's fuel station at the same junction and lead the ride for Sunday.

Palmer check the calender we are getting together for a ride on the Sunday as well and the route is in there.
