There are still plenty of B&Bs / hotels local for anyone still thinking of coming to join us.
Also, if anyone wants to come and join us for the ride out on Saturday, you'll be more than welcome.

19 people will be riding, so we will be splitting in to 2 groups.
I'll be taking 1 group out.
Someone else will take the other group out, it might be Alistair (AMCQ46) but I'm not sure if he'll be staying long enough to do it.
As far as I'm aware he needs to get home Saturday night ready for a family holiday on the Sunday.

I spoke to Pete when we were at the Scotland weekend, he will do stand in as the group leader once I decide it’s time to head for home on the Saturday afternoon.

I have got 2 routes mapped out, a longer one at 223miles and a shorter one at 170miles. Both can be further shortened by 20 miles if you don’t do the out and back over the Brecon Becons to Brynaman.

So Drew withdrew?

Not long now, boys and girls...

Anyone else fancy getting there Thursday and getting a few miles in on Friday?
Assuming we can book another night?

In case anyone want to join Alastair and me with a gentle pootle around on Friday as a warm-up, the cost for Thursday night is £22 each.
Or, if you want to meet up with us on the Friday, let us know.

TBH it's weather dependent because if it's hosing down on the Friday, the inside of a nice warm, dry bar appeals more than getting soaked two days in a row!

That's fluids, tyre pressures, brake pad thicknesses checked and chain lubed ready to roll on Thursday.
We might get some rain at some points so no need to clean it- result😁
