OK, I am not very happy with myself.
I've had a cold all week and thought i was getting better.
But i woke up this morning not feeling very good at all.
If i am no better by Sunday i am not goting to be able to come on Monday meet and ride.
I will keep you updated. I have Michaelc2710 number and will call him on Sunday.
I can't believe this as i've been looking forward to meeting some of you.
I know some are staying in Abergavenny on the sunday night.
So if there are others who are wanting to go please still do.

It’s only Thursday !! You’ll be reet by Monday, us Northern Monkeys don’t bite, it’s them Southern ones you’ve to be wary of

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

Based on the BBC weather forecast for Abergavenny, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657815 Ashley & I will not be attending.

We are going to look at doing it later in the week.

@David. looking at the weather there is only a little patch of rain in the area at about 1pm!

[Sullivj]

I had a completely dry ride into Abergavenny.

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

Arrived 17.5 degrees most of way. Had to delayer as to warm.

[DaveCly]

200 mile down on a great route, thanks to Sim & Michael, started with to many layers, 18.5c at one stage, arrived and started to rain a bit …. Result

Is the starting point still the Oasis cafe or the Kings Head in the morning?

[Capt Sisko]

Bit late to the party, but I'll be coming down from Shrewsbury in the morning. Have you got a GPX file for the route, or at least a screen shot of a map?

Unless i hear otherwise I'll be at the Oasis cafe at 9.30. Not sure there was ever a gpx of the route.

Take a look on page 3 there is a route there

Based on that I've just knocked up the following. It obviously doesn't take into account EasyRider's local knowledge of the best route in & out of town so I've just used the main road, but once were on the road if anyone gets lost, it's good enough.

Tuesday 7th May, we'll be riding from Teesside to Wales.
Wednesday 8th May, having a circular ride out, in and around the Brecon Beacons.
Thursday 9th May, riding home.

If anyone would like to join us, you would be welcome.

[Sullivj]

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.
