anyone fancy a run over to ponderosa cafe'..situated at the top of the horsehoe pass' north wales...sometime in november, before the bad weather starts...if u've never been its ace roads with even better views, topped off by cracking meals in the cafe,..the ponderosa cafe gets packed with bikes, just like our very own squires/seaways/mfn/boxhill etc etc...dates and pickup points decided as and when peeps say yes/no..cheers
provisional date set at sat 26th april

been going there for many many years never had trouble with fuzz...if youve been im sure i dont need to sell the scenery etc to you...need to get an idea of attendee's then work out meeting places on route and times...but as for me...i tend to go over to cat&fiddle, then onto chapelholmes and head over to wales all via countryside..got a few places to see whilst there....bala lake, trevor basin( highest aquaduct) to name a few...

mike its about 80-100 miles each way from where we all met for the matlock fiasco last year

..would be an early set off, so yeah probs an overnighter close by the night before would be ideal ...im sure one of us yorkies could help u out

Love too. Would prob stay at my mothers in Otley then meet up from there. Afghan or Iraq may stop play but will try my best, would be great to put faces to names.
