Re: South-Mid "Wales Weekender"
Hi Steve
How hard is it going to be ?
It’s hard for me to answer that one but will try and explain what my idea of the weekend
For most of us, it will be 80-90% of the miles that weekend will be riding on tarmac roads, but form Rhayader roads like this
But I’m hoping we can take in some unpaved roads which I’ve ridden on my 1200 GSA (now sold)
My mate doing small water crossing
Also the planned unpaved roads have been ridden by my mate Ela on her big pig (her name for her 1150 GS)
These pictures stolen form Pumpy
But I do know one mans Hardcore is another mans easy, so if the group wants to try some more hardcore lanes we can and if anyone wants to go round on the tarmac they can
I normally say bring your sense of humour and leave your ego’s behind as I’m sure there will be times over the weekend when we will all need a helping hand so team work will be order of the day (but didn’t bother as no sign of egos on here)
As for meet up if your not coming form the Midlands I’m going to suggest we stop for breakfast at Crossgates Service Station (café,fuel,shop all in one) and all meet up there and ride the 8 miles to Rhayader together that’s where it will get more interesting
Louis
Ps Hope you have a good time in Morocco

Re: South-Mid "Wales Weekender"
Ok guys. After much thought, I really want to come along for this trip.
Please count me in.
It will be a fantastic experience for me and the luxury of being with some experienced riders.
Cheers
