Op Storm II Part 5, Rhayader Sept 13th 2014

[budd]

I only ask because having an artificial knee joint and limit movement in the left leg 270 miles is a long way, and I would prefer the progressive group, I guess I’ll just have grit my teeth and remember to bring some codeine

[budd]

the 220 mile map doesn't show the route like the other 2 do

I'd guess map 2 would be the same as map 3 only without the top bit.

worth pointing out that the progressive group is not really about speed [you are all more than capable riders who can make good progress when required] , its more about having a good long ride.
So where the relaxed guys are stopping in nice tea shops and looking at the beautiful scenery, the progressive team are racking up the miles and eating when they stop at petrol stations.

based on that definition you can decide which group you want to be in.

regarding Budds questions about shortcuts, I just checked and there are the following options

1) 120 miles http://goo.gl/maps/x33RL
2) 220 miles http://goo.gl/maps/tkicA
3) 270miles http://goo.gl/maps/Baxo2

I can also cut 20 miles off option 2 and 3 if I just come straight down the A470 to Dolgellau

Why that shortcut across the newtown/crossgates road?

Didn't we go over near Shrewsbury more last year?

Ignore the shortcut at the top of the Newtown road, that's just google map being stupid.

last year we did a southern run and ended up from Brecon going east towards Leominster, we didn't go towards Shrewsbury.... That I can remember, but I am old and getting senile

I copied this route of the bike website, I have only ridden about 30% of the roads, so I quite like the idea of going somewhere new

. Correct

Ouch. Sounds like a good excuse for heavy drugs

May be out of this!

The bike I'd borrow is broken and the VTR looks like it will be gone soon

Tell him to fix his bike, no more excuses

Good call, local to you so it would be rude not to join in

[AMCQ46]

the 220 mile map doesn't show the route like the other 2 do

should be fixed now

Good, now get started on Virt's borrowed bike


I'll be in the prog rock group, but mine will probably still be running in, so you may have to bear with me only going past you once or twice instead of several times.

But the knackered (read: slick) tyres and over-indulged chain and sprockets may slow the fun down a bit.

That's if this weekend goes ok....

[AMCQ46]

Don't worry tony, I will wait for you... as usual

[Jamoi]

I would take great pleasure in joining you good fellows, for a weekend of jousting in Camelot.

This is the jousting in Camelot thread right?

Hopefully I can score a hog roll at Bazza's again!

Cheers guys

[AMCQ46]

Jamie, did somebody slip something in your drink last night?

[Virt]

This is what he's normally like, isn't it?
