Chris, what can I say,we were listening out for you mate, was it that bad in Stoke? We got away with it all day,few spots at vyrnwy and that was it. Next time mate, or there is always the weekender

So ,great turnout today ,thanks to Adie,Chris,Pezz,....nice to see Colin and Rob ...and of course Pete . Six monsters and our first sighting of Adie851,s erm...851, great to see such a wonderful example

, as it was a rare sighting,a few pics below.

We managed to navigate our way through a cycle race onto the wonderful roads leading to Vyrnwy. It was as dull as dishwater and threatening rain but after a welcome brew we made for home and avoided the rain.

Great day out guys, probably be the weekender when we reconvene ,not many sleeps to go

What a nice cross section of Ducatis, the 851 does look nice.
Looks like you managed to miss a tractor run as well..

06-06-2021, 07:13 PM

Well spotted Mr G, yes Pete got quite exited, there was obviously some kind of event on nearby,they were immaculate to be fair

madmac · 06-06-2021, 07:58 PM

Dammit I knew this would happen!

It was pretty wet here when I got up, and I looked at the forecast at least a dozen times, but all the apps I tried said rain was more than 50% likely throughout the day. The rain here didn't really clear til about 11am, but I just knew the sun would be beaming down in Wales!

Looks like you had a decent day and some lovely machines on display. Next time.... *waves fist at sky*

It’s that time of the month again, doesn’t time fly ?

Breakfast meet at the Bickerton poacher, Sunday 4th ,Pete has booked us in for 10:00 ,fingers crossed it will be dry.

Hope to see you there folks,

04-07-2021, 01:11 PM

Well a modest gathering of regulars, good to see Pete on his Velo and Chris for breakfast then dashing home before the weather really turned. We will be having a grand day out in a couple of weeks heading to devils bridge and surrounding areas…..watch this space for arrangements.

Well folks, having visited one Devils Bridge during the Weekender Saturday Ride out, its now time to compare abutments and check out the Welsh version !

Sunday August 1st monthly meet will actually be a ride out to Devils Bridge , very nearly Aberystwyth

Reasonably early start, first meeting point is the BP service area just South of Chester on the A483 , departing from there at 09:00. Then we head South on the A483 aiming to get to Devils Bridge by 11:30 where we will hopefully get a table booked at either the Two Hoots or Woodlands Cafe's. Pete will confirm later this week.

So if you fancy a bimble next Sunday ,post up .fingers crossed for dry weather

ChrisC2925 · 26-07-2021, 03:09 PM

I will met up at the Starbucks on the A5/A583 roundabout at Oswestry Mike about 09:30. Let's hope it's a good turnout
