    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

    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
