Good luck with the recovery mate,we'll be thinking of you while we're freezing our nads off and you're in front of that lovely open fire munching on Turkey sandwiches, and mince pies,and pouring another single malt,and the Great Escape on the box-Sod it I'm going to Retro's instead
I know everyone is busy at the moment, but no posts to the thread for a while, so just a polite enquiry as to whether the run is still on.

I would say that you are all welcome around the hearth... but that would be pretty stupid of me ...
I hope that the weather is kind - have a great run guys. 2 months since I got my legover my dirty great GS.
hopefully I will be able to make it, got some people coming done to drink all my beer late afternoon but that wont be a problem, as he can wait in the car with the heater on.

So, in the real world, where is the most northerly part of Wales you hit ( the gps download is U/S to me ) ?
Just asking

In the real world,if the group is not too big,and the weather conditions are not too severe the group might get as far north as Devil's Bridge/Aberystwyth,but that's only a theory
Any body from the Cardiff area want to meet at Cardiff Gate Services M4 @ 9 a.m. and ride up together?
Some of us are meeting there and heading to Aber about 9.15
As long as my cold doesn't get any worse, or proves resistant to treatment by alcohol I'll be there.
Cardiff Gate 9am fine with me, as long as gipsy wears his frank thomas summer riding gear
I'm hoping to join you, is the meeting place still Abergavenny bust station at 10:00 for 10:30?

Well that weather forecast is the kiss of death. Just the two of us at Abergavenny then...

Minus 4 here today, considering moving run to Sun 8 Jan as the weather forecast for the next week is much better.
Will check on weather tomorrow.
Milder from west on Fri according to Metcheck.
What do you all think??
cheers

How about a "virtual" show of hands? I don't mind these cold, crisp days personally.

Good call Gerry. As you say, check the weather tomorrow. If there aint gonna be any ice then tis fine by me but if not may be worth postponing. And there will be more daylight hours next week

I'll be there...only icy roads would stop me...anyway it is called the SNOW RUN...if it's rescheduled for the 8th and there's poor weather then...it'll be postponed again and before we know it we'll be out in the spring and having to dodge suicidal lambs...so my virtual vote is go as planned.
What with all weather forcasters being afraid to do a Michael Fish it's my impression that they tend to stress the worst case scenario when rough weather is expected. Having said that if the timing is as predicted there's likely to be be snow around else they wouldn't make such a fuss. Personally I'll give the white stuff a miss if it's around when I surface in the morning, however if some of you venture forth I wish you all a safe and enjoyable ride, and all the best for the new year.
