great idea, I will have a look and chat with mikey and Jay about routes (we may even go for a ride one weekend soon) and get back to you. what do you want to do about the ride, do you want to split or i don't mind riding as support rider if you want to do it all as you have a GS :bow and I have a Honda :eek .

and slimbo that route is cool but i think we might need to look at it again and cut some areas out as i will get lost hee hee
one other thing
i think that you have gone awry somewhere, once you get to fishguard at about 3 ish i think you have gone strange as cmffrwd is in carmarthen shire and that is back wards......

i am up for doing this efore hand as a spin out if anyone is up for it, i work in pembrokeshire so the route from carmarthen to st davids i know real well i could do with running the first bit and the last bit

anyway i am happy to do what everyone wants

I put my route on here http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64470

It's had a few replies. I didn't do the bit around Newport or Cardiff because of the time constraints when driving through big cities. most of it sticks to the coast.

We are obviously going to need a meet to discuss so any more ideas?


Hi. I'm up for a meet somewhere.
Does the Abercraf inn do B&B? it's 120 miles from me so I won't want to be riding home again that evening :beer:

great I know its a honda but I do love my bike. As for dropping it i could proberly give you a run for your money, my bike seems to be happiest on its side, the last time cause i had left my disc lock on and riden off - oops. i am glad i am not the obly one who names her bike, mine is twinkle toes cause when I stop it is the only bit of me that can reach the floor is the very tippy bit of my toes.
