Just trying to gauge interest atm, but who would be up for a bike weekender...?
What I have in mind is a country pub that has B&B and camping with decent facilities, so folk have a choice in accommodation options! Somewhere with some cracking bike roads in its locality.....
The idea is, turn up on the Friday afternoon/evening...a couple of beers, some grub etc....next day, rideout!! woo hoo! Roughly 150 miles, so no more extreme than a usual SWB group ride!....return to pub/campsite...few beers/grub..you get the idea??

Sunday would give people plenty of time to get home, I am not thinking of doing this in North Yorkshire ok??!!
It wouldnt be a 'strictly bike only' thing, the idea is to make it a social weekend with everyone welcome!
ok, so....whaddya think?

Tommy, have a look in Events/Meets section, all the details are there!
I am leaving people to get themselves booked in with Hollybush, save making it complicated, but you are most most welcome to come along.
We are doing a rideout on the Saturday, covering the Welsh mountains and roughly 150ish miles and leaving about 10.30 - 11am ish....
