Tarka, just to add a vote of thanks for ride-out.
It was my first meet up and mores the pity I had a commitment in South Wales for the weekend, but it made the Saturday interesting riding up to the ride-out and then finishing and getting back to Swansea/Neath for a meal at 8:30pm with friends ... GPS says 486miles of Welsh back roads all told for Sat.
Then I had Sunday to myself, decided it was too good an opportunity to waste and clocked up 462 more covering some of the roads I chatted with you about on the rideout stops ...
As promised, I'll forward some suggestions for similar roads and some more technical roads (yes, more technical, more hairpins than the Pass of the Cross), including the Hay Bluff routes and others when I get to grips with the new fangled GPS and my mac.
Excellent ride, great organisation and cheers to both lead and tailgunner ;-)
Count me in for the next one ...
