Seems a shame to come all that way and miss out on that.

Just looked on a map - which way round? Through Denbigh and Ruthin or through Corwen? I don't know the roads at all round there and if there's 20-30 bikes turning up, I'll have to factor in the easiest way to keep the group together. 

And don't think we'll be able to start earlier than 10am, people are travelling from miles away to make it as it is! 

You could always lead for us Ian G Embarrassed


If you can get 20/30 bikes turning up for a ride you must have some very special talents Wink


The only time I've ever seen those sort of numbers is the AP open days,we usually manage about 6 LOL

This is just an out and return from the Ponderosa



But if you fancied the scenic route back 'oop noorf' on sunday we could do a loop from the Pondy instead then taking in places like Betwse y coed and Conwy and you could head back straight along the A55 afterwards.

The leg from Cerrigydrudion to the Evo triangle is on one of my old videos here  

 

A road known and loved by all that ride it,with an out and return you can take it really easy and admire the view ( and eyeball any possible camera/plod) on the way up then enjoy yourself on the return leg should you wish to.

It would be a shame to come so close and not ride some of our best roads,this is part of our usual milk run from the Pondy when we have a forum meeting.

Well just from the AP Facebook page there's 7 of us confirmed that's staying over for the full weekend, 4 that are coming for the ride on Saturday and 6 maybes and I only posted it up yesterday! Ian, Tifa, Adz, cwp make another 4 so that's a potential of 21 already.

Scenic route back home is dependent on how Saturday night goes I guess, might be feeling a bit ropey Embarrassed

Wow Ian, that road looks a stonker of a road! Shame I'm so far away, I think a holiday down there may be in order at some point.

In that vid the weather seemed worse behind you than in front mind! Wink

It's only 200 miles and he's coming for the weekend so it's 200 miles to get there, 200 miles on rideout and 200 miles back - easy Smile Worse thing will be the traffic Cry

Try Southern Comfort Special Reserve if you get a chance,50% Sc & 50% 8 year aged Bourbon Big smile

Smooth as a moleskin codpiece and none of the sweet sticky aftertaste you get with straight ordinary SC.
