Mike....Mike....Calling for Mike? Are you planning a normal run?

At least the u-turns will wear out the chicken strips.

coming down from the north, is it better to follow the motorway towards bristol an come in along the bottom of wales or cut straight thru wales from the north.?

[Sharribee]

If it's like last time, it's "a road that has had tarmac on it at some time within the last 100 years."

(Edit: My avatar pic was taken on J's run on a "B-ish road")

Don't fall for it folks! That's what he said last time.

Spot on, and A-ish roads are fully tarmac...just they have a layer of soil and grass over the top

And there you have it folks, the perfect description of every ride that my beloved plans for me

Actually you may be a little unfair, he does occasionally take us down a little bit of tarmac road

Depends on what you want to do.

I once went to a meeting in Cardiff where the guy from North Wales had travelled into England, changed train south and then come back into Wales from there.

Even by road, if you want to get there quick, come down and turn right into south Wales. If you want to ride and see the sights then take your time, pick the most obscure route you can and enjoy it.

Hi Rick

Why not join up with the North West Posse

We met at Lymm services then over to Chester, down through Wales via the coast road Aberystyth etc

Last year there was about 6 of us I think

Cheers Frad

OK guys J's put an on road (allegedly) ride together. Do we need a shorter one as an alternative?


Please be aware J has been practicing U turns with the master.

Now seriously....I have just bought my new toy and I have no experience whatsoever of off roading but I have the feeling that picking up a vara in wet grass is not the easiest of tasks.....

Better make sure I bring some anesthetic for the evening....

Well i enjoyed the ride last year, plenty of stops for brew and food (even if i did wait 5 days for my drink from that fool in the pub) and since it'sjust shy of 400 miles for me to get there a short more relaxed ride on the Saturday suits me Mike

A u-turn just gives me more of a rest

[pdsquire]

Yes I'm in etc.

(see, I can read instructions...)
