Ride out Sunday December 2nd- South Wales valleys circuit

[Malvern_Beemer]

From Dale (yddraig) on f650.co.uk

After the fun we had on the wrong side of the border, anyone who fancies a 90 mile ride around the valleys on Sunday 2nd December is welcome-Gives you a chance to try out all the shiny new gear from the NEC show!

It will be slow goers only, around 10 miles in total of farm roads , no knobblies needed - more gravel than dakar style

If we can meet at 10 am in Abergavenny bus station next to the bikers cafe as some people are travelling a fair way

Cheers

This looks good, and I'm just North of Gloucester so 10am shouldn't be too painful...

Amended Garmin GPX route attached. The one posted above (post #2) was converted from a Google KML file and contained over 800 via points. I have found that the Garmin Zumo 660 cannot handle that many via points. This updated route fixes that issue.

Bump for Sunday. Really looking forward to this one. First ride-out on the new bike and by the looks of it Dale has mapped out some cracking lanes and tracks. With a little luck the rain forecast for Sunday won't set in until late afternoon.

I've had a change of plan - going to a ball the night before, so there's feck all chance of being sober / awake in time for this!

Well that was fun! What a brilliant day. Dale's route was brilliant and the bits of offroad were good fun and just the right amount. Then some nice lovely winding roads, lanes and great views.

Dale was quite tired though, so he had a lie down early on.

Tony just laughed (and then decided to help)

Dale then wanted to show us he could really ride without stabilisers

There was some ice!

Apparently, what happens in Wales, stays in Wales.
