Snowrun Thursday 29th December

[watts]

Weather now looks like being a bit wet but not too cold.

I've attached the route if anybodies interested.

155 miles with Hay Bluff thrown in for good measure.

P.S. Please try and fill-up before you get to the Bus Station so we can get going on time.

It'll be the drop off system

http://www.gwent-advanced-motorists.org/bikes/drop_off.htm

so no need to feel any pressure to keep-up.

Have a read of the link if your not familiar with the drop-off system.

P.S I havn't got a dayglo jacket but I'm told Vern is never seen without one :]

Looks like an interesting route, and there are a few roads over Brecon that i've not ridden before.

Looking forward to it.

Snowrun

Sorry but it is going to be a no show from me
Already declared the day open after a nice bimble round Tenbury, Leominster, The Leinsters and Bromyard. Must say very sunny but cold ride.
I already know it is going to be a serious session tonight so the chances of getting me out the door to be in Abergavenny by 10 is very remote
Have a great ride and see you soon..
Matkat & Sue

I.m meeting Yonkyo@ 09.00hrs Aust Services tomorrow morning and will be with you for the start This'll be my fourth 'snow run' and didn't realise that there had been so many incidents at the rear. I do remember Slimbo shagging a sheep though but I didnt think that was bike related

After the last few years, I think we should rename this event 'The Rain Run'

Original



The excuses are coming harder than the wind and rain, no doubt some of the diehards are out enjoying the countryside

My excuse? Man flu kicked in yesterday with a vengeance-I know it's not very original but I was only a "Hmmmmmm, maybe" anyway
