Weekender 2016 itinerary

I won a prize!! Yeahhhhhh :)

Well done mate.
Thanks for a great weekend and for a fun filled Saturday. Eleanor and Andy did a great job organising it but without the attendees it is nothing. I sadly only managed to attend in a car but still went out with the ride for backup and for a cuppa. Really enjoyed the venue even if it was a journey.
Thanks all .
 
And we're back all in the dry to

Fab weekend thanks to mr & Mrs C
 
Made it home in the dry

Found a Black EVO under all that dirt

Many Thanks to Elanor and Andy for doing a sterling job getting it all together
 
Many apologies for not turning up.
It wasn't because of the rain, honest.
I would've made it by sunday but the post-rebuild, shakedown run revealed a rattle that I daren't ride with.
Its not engine and probably nothing much, but by then the rain had arrived and fault finding in the dark and wet wasn't really on.
Somewhat gutted ... I was particularly looking forward to this year's weekender.
Thanks anyway to Eleanor and Andy for their much appreciated work in organising.
 
HUUUGE thanks to Mr&Mrs_C for organising! plus J.P for leading Sunday's rideout, Oz for trophy making ...and everyone else for showing up.
Nice ride home, not the soaking we were expecting, just the usual bank holiday drivers chicken****tery on the roads. Must've been making decent progress out of Waless, since we met J.P and bex leaving a petrol station in Bromyard just as we were arriving.
 
Great weekender
Thanks to Eleanor and Andy for all there hard work organising a great weekender.
Andy for leading Saturdays rideout, Jp for leading Sundays rideout, Oz for making brilliant trophies.
Brilliant company as usual.

Nice food, curry and kebabs !
Great real ale bar across the road.
 
It really was a great weekender. Thank you Andy and Eleanor for organising the weekend so well. The hotel was great and the ride out on Saturday with Andy leading was brilliant. Thank you also to JP for leading a great ride out on Sunday. The weather was not great but it was all superb. Thank you.
 
Thanks Andy and Eleanor and all those mentioned above who helped make a great weekend.

Similarly a mostly dry ride home, albeit a bit dull after being spoiled by the Welsh roads.
 
Yeah, enjoyed it, worth saying thanks a second time :)

And no idea what you are all talking about, never got wet once ;)
 
Many thanks to Andy & Eleanor for organising a great weekender. The hotel and town was a terrific venue, I think Mrs BRD & I may well take the MX5 down for a break in the future.

Although I am a big poof & didn't take the bike I had a very relaxing & enjoyable weekend. The alehouse was a real bonus.

Good to see some old friends & meet some new peeps as well. I may bimble over to Cadwell next Saturday to see some of you.
 
Thanks Andy and Eleanor for a great weekender.
The ride out on Saturday was fun and some of the views were spectacular.
As for catching up with people, thanks for the crack, had a brilliant relaxing couple of days.
 
A big thank you to Mr&MrsC for all there hard work in organising a weekender and the best roads available
I had a great time, and enjoyed the food, hotel, beer, banter, bikes and great company

Well done to everyone involved in helping out and putting together a great weekend away in Wales, top riding enjoyed on great roads especially tea and scones at the Owls Nest, I'll be going there again.

Shame about the weather on the Sunday, still enjoyed the National Ride Out route, thanks to JP, the run from Newtown chasing a grubby 821 through the twistys

Thank you

:)
 
Hi everyone,

We're finally back home, unpacked and fed after nearly 200 miles' worth of pouring rain. The house is strewn with gently steaming bike gear, and I expect my hair will have just about dried out by Thursday afternoon. Hope you all made it back safely and that you too are well on the way to feeling human once again.

Thank you all for the tremendous feedback we've had. Even though the weather put a bit of a dampener on things, the positive comments we've heard really make it all feel worthwhile, and we're delighted you had a good time. The hotel staff we spoke to also said they'd only heard positive things from UKMOC.

We dropped off the collection bucket with the Wales Air Ambulance staff this morning, and we're expecting to hear the final count of what we raised within the next couple of days. Thanks again to you all for your generosity... and if you can think of a simple way to transport a bucket of cash by motorcycle in the pouring rain, do please let us know!!

Highlight of the weekend for me was leading the long Saturday ride out. It's not that many years since I couldn't even ride a bicycle, much less a motorbike, and often when it comes to social events there's a little part of my brain that likes to just curl up into a little ball and hide... so if you'd told me that I'd be leading a group of bikers half way across Wales, I'd never have believed it. I'm sure there's an inspirational story there waiting to get out, somehow.
 
Plus one to all of the above! Brilliant Weekender, thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it all happen.
 
Well Done Andy it was a very nice route into deepest Wales.
 
Thanks very much to Eleanor and Andy for all their hard work in finding a brilliant venue for this year's weekender. Thanks to Babs, Caroline and Heather for the alternative activity on Saturday morning - yes we really did walk up the huge mountain behind the hotel and thanks again to C & H for the party in the tower!
Pity there were so few Monsters, or even naughty corner bikes, missed the sound of the mass of bikes riding out together.
