Hi All,

Having a little mosey to Wales this Sunday 1st August.

Stopping at the world renowned PONDEROSA Bikers Cafe at the HORSE-SHOE PASS. :dribble:

Riding the 'EVO TRIANGLE' the Top Secret roads that are used by Evo Magazine, Top Gear and Fifth Gear

to road test cars for magazine articles and TV programmes. :thumb:

Visiting the magnificent scenic splendour of SNOWDONIA via the rugged beauty of the LLANBERIS PASS.

Then onto the mysterious LAKE BALA. :eh:

Includes SPECTACULAR SCENERY and GREAT BIKING ROADS. :clap:

Don't forget your 'Brownies'. :scratchhead:

Suit more experienced riders who are able to 'make good progress' with bikes over 500cc. :thumb:

Meet at Macdonalds, Sir John Robinson Way, Arnold, Nottingham NG5 6BN.

Please note earlier start, meet at 9am for 9.30am depart.

FULL TANKS PLEASE Sainsbury fuel opposite Macdonalds. :thumb:

I look forward to meeting you all. :clap:

Ron

Can't make this run. But the roads around Lake Bala are awesome. If your travelling via Welshpool Just becareful of the roads on the "Mach Loop" A470 as whilst looking down from the hills whilst taking photos of the RAF and USAF going low level, I've seen numerous bikers take this bend too wide and get squashed by artics. http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=52.735 ... %20Gwynedd

Also watch your speed on the A458 from Welshpool, have a safe journey.

Thanks for the tip regarding the A470.

The majority of bikers on this forum have their bikes 'governed' to 50mph so speeding is not an issue. :lol:

This time I'm coming on my push-bike to give'em chance to keep up. :lol:

Hi Rich,

It's a shame that you can't make this ride.

I was very impressed how well you and Bradley did last week.

See you soon.

Ron
