    That can be done as well.


    I only asked because a few of you travel lots of miles to get there and back and may want a short ride on the Saturday.

    I know that TGLW would rather do a sorter sightseeing tour than be on the bike for 120 miles.

    We need to find some mud for her to play in though or some other way of embarrassing herself.

    I really enjoyed MOMs ride last year, it's the best part of about 350 miles for me to get there on the Friday then the same home on the Sunday so a nice bimble on the Saturday will suit me.

    Re: Welsh U Turn Convention(3rd Welsh Invasion) Rideouts

    I actually like the idea of LOTS of bikes together it is, after all, an invasion

    Perhaps the stages could be staggered with all meeting up at the various stops - perhaps we could just take over completely

    120 - 150 miles over a day is spot on - so much to see

    Can't wait

    Re: Welsh U Turn Convention(3rd Welsh Invasion) Rideouts

    It's more to do with the logistics, trying to keep 40 bikes together over that kind of distance can get tricky, even when using second man drop off.

    We seemed to manage fine last year on Mikes ride and there was quite a lot of us then, though that was a much shorter ride. It was quite a lot of fun though to go roaring through the seaside towns, some of the looks we got were great
