The 2nd night banter continued over a glass or two of red wine at a cheeky little Italian! Great weekend chaps.

Captain Sisko did a cracking job of leading our ride today. Inspired confidence and kept us all well within the speed limits - thanks very much Nick.

Many thanks to Dave Clough for volunteering to organise our annual meet up next year.

Magnificant scenery, gated roads and bloodbike stories are all a certainty.

Looking forward to it already. Cheers Dave

Great to meet Captain Sisko, who kindly led us around the roads of Wales. Despite looking like rain, we had a completely dry day of riding.

Time for a few more beers at the hotel before dinner in town.

That’s the 2024 UK RT meet up, almost done.

I had a completely dry ride into Abergavenny.

Just found a nice welcoming pub whilst waiting for the others to arrive safely.

Mine arrived with a cracked insulation on the negative clamp. I'm onto the seller to see if they'll replace it.

**EDIT"" They've already replied to say that they will post a new set of clamps out 1st class. GREAT SERVICE

Be "reet", he means "alright"... Northern Monkeys might not bite, but they should come with subtitles

The weather forecast, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657815 will have to improve for Ashley & I to turn up.

I think your bike is the same age as mine David - Experience tells me that they're definitely waterproof - My wet week in Ireland proves it!!

Put your wets on and join in the fun.

I've just been on Ebay and got one too. Seller refurbished, with a 12 month warranty for £63.03

I’ve just ordered an Oxford Rainsuit!

Slightly cheaper on AE. I used one whilst riding in the Canaries last year and it was excellent. Not sure we get enough warm weather here for it to be beneficial. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005790517560.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.33c766b34nNIrH&algo_pvid=240ea945-bdeb-498f-87c1-2...

You'll soon get used to it.

I run with the Top Box always, but only add the side panniers if I'm going on a tour.

It looks like the Angel has rooms available David.

I’ve managed to reorganise a few things, so I can come along.

Looking forward to it.

A meet up post code might be useful... I was looking at routes to Aberystwyth bus station, but am now told it’s Abergavenny

That's a bargain for someone. I paid a fortune for mine.
