South Wales Bank Holiday Run

Just planned out an idea for a route:

Start at Abergavenny, then to Penderyn for the A4059 over to
Sennybridge. On from there to Llandovery for a quick coffee stop at the
West End cafe. Then on to Lampeter and Aberystwyth for lunch. Head back
via Llangurig, Builth Wells and Brecon.

I'm open to doing it either Sunday or Monday - whatever is best for
anyone else who can make it.

I'll be busy. Anyway, those roads are far too wide

Suggestion: avoid Aberystwyth. On a bank holiday weekend it will most
likely be clogged with day trippers from the Midlands. It's also a shithole
with bars & cafes tailored for the student population.

Go west from Lampeter to Aberaeron. A relatively unspoilt harbour town.
Much nicer.

 

We don't all have monster traillies..... narrow roads aren't the forte
of a lardy tourer like the VFR ;-)

Ahh, good point.

Yup. Good idea. Modifying the route now.

 

Start at Abergavenny, then to Penderyn for the A4059 over to
Sennybridge. On from there to Llandovery for a quick coffee stop at the
West End cafe. Then on to Lampeter and Aberaeron, before taking in a
couple of B-roads towards Builth Wells before going back to Abergavenny
via Brecon.

As a bonus, we can also take a short detour via Llandewi-Brefi

 

you won't be the only gay there though

I went there Easter weekend. Didn't see Dafydd. Perhaps I *was* the only
gay in the village

For a good photo op the sign at the Tregaron end of the village is
surrounded by pretty flowers for that ersatz hom experience.

 

Count me and Joanne in plus another biker.

 

Sorry forgot - Monday.

 

Which day d'you want to do it? - I'm not bothered, just need to make
sure I have a day to clean the shite old Nissan and replace the wiper
motor on the 155.

 

Bad form.... but just seen it. Monday it is, then.

 

Joanne has requested lots of twisties.

 

The route I've planned, ISTR, takes in a lot of twisties. I'm open to
other suggestions, though.

 

I can make it on Monday - twisties sounds good to me

 

and that Mountain road.

 

Just like the cafe at the weekend? 'Hom cooked lunches' indeed!

 

Does anyone want to meet up at McDonalds/Petrol Station on the way to
Abergavenny. Around 10 AM?
