All welcome.

Fancy a repeat of the last one (without the weather).

Open to suggestions on destinations, but I can highly recommend a return to Welsh hills with Gilo....

Who is up for laying down tyre marks on Welsh mountain roads?

Me? I will be on my motorbike on the Saturday of the bank holiday weekend in South Wales, if you were going to go from say Abegavenny to Llandovery or up to Lampeter then I could say hi in Aber but cant go for the whole day.

Bit of a while yet, but I have Oct 8th off work (its me 40th). That would be an ideal day for me, but I'll have to be back for about 5pm latest.

No point trying to find flowing roads in bank holiday traffic. All we want is not find any Welsh sunshine.

Not sure I'll be able to do a Tuesday, but I'm definitely up for another Welsh ride. I've discovered some more great roads since the last one too ๐Ÿ™‚

If you guys come up with some dates I'll make it if I possibly can.

How about this circular route from Chepstow?

90 miles, and with a choice of cutting the top part off if running short of time - I have a ride from Portsmouth and back as well!

Superfii - that route's not bad, but there's far better around. If you let me know how long you want to ride for once over the Severn bridge (factoring in tea and cake stops ๐Ÿ™‚ ) I'll put a route together if you want.

That's my Cheddar run BTW - I showed Boff it ๐Ÿ™‚

Problem is, I've got to be back by 5pm, so need to get to Wales by 9-10am really. Gilo, I was counting on being in Wales for 4 hrs, inc 1hr lunch stop, so thought 100mile or so was about right? I just chose some roads off bestbiking roads ๐Ÿ™‚
