Have a good'n guys...weather was stunning here yesterday & looks like today'll be the same.


Off to my foccin noggy scratcher now to dream about having a bike one day.......bit like Christo.

NO NO!!! please say it's not that bad.  This site can't cope with two Christos 

[Arfa]

Bah! Currently in Welshpool for the week visiting family. But no bike with me up here. :-( Have fun, it's not bad weather today .

[Hedgetrimmer]

Looking forward to the ride report fellas, hope it's all going good.

Thinking about having a few days camping in Wales in 2-3 weeks time, if we get some settled weather. Anyone would be welcome to join, whether it be for a day or the whole thing. It'll be a pretty spontaneous thing, although I've got a couple of things in mind. Will put a new thread up soon.

What can I say Foccers, that was an epic day.
22 Miles of uninterrupted fast sweeping mountain roads,  tight,  technical up and down,  hairpin bends,  fish and chips on the west coast of  Wales,  loads of bikes,  bit of totty to look at and wall to wall sunshine.
Over 250 Miles of pure pleasure not to mention brilliant company.
Thankyou slimwilly, I forgive you for not posing on my bike. 

[slimwilly]

[noggythenog]

Good effort chaps ....thats some inspiration to get us out on them hills right enough and im glad another foccer has sampled the pleasures of my local roads too....i can see a good group of us getting out this year if the weather co tinues to impress.


Foccin your wife is right....Dazza is really Welsh....if he's a goblin then sure as foc im a troll .........i might be ugly but i can still smile and i look forward to gettin out there......id say slim that you have more the makings of.....an imp


Ps....how did the bikes perform.....& what state were the roads in ie pot holes, gravel etc???

[bri h]

Glad you enjoyed the day chaps.  I'm not sure when my annual pilgrimage will be but I'm really looking forward to it now.

[Hedgetrimmer]

Looks like you guys have well and truly kick-started the season  Can't wait to get the bike back and get out there myself. So Billy, that's two converts we've made now. Who's next? 

We had the Raven café run and Horseshoe Pass last year; can we get the Foccers to Wales en masse again this year?

I have heard a rumour that the Lofo's will be heading this in a couple of months,,they are welcome to camp at my joint,its probably a two nighter for them southeners,,because the Welsh loop really needs nine hours to ride and stops.i hope they come up.


Yes , we need "Red" back up here, i am sure he misses the place

Bike's were singing Noggy,  roads were superb in general, had the odd wet patch where rain water was running off the hills and the only time I felt a slide was on a newly laid bit of anti skid on a mountain corner.(Forget what it's called) Little bit gravelly when first laid.

[red98]

hi mr willy.....yep, be heading your way shortly,still dizzy from the last time  that newtown road was fantastic    did the brecon beacons late last summer,straight down the middle,not as fast but the scenery was brilliant .....not been out latley as i think i had the KOSMIC FLU...   knocked me out for a week or more....getting back to normal now,if i was ever normal to start with  ......still need to sort my 6 out and the thou is not taxed and waiting for an engine re-paint,need to get me finger out and get out west 

[slimwilly]

Yes Red, i took Dazza on that Crossgates to Newtown road,,He's crazy man , he loved it


I saw a bike in the hedge with a bloke still planted on it, the van in front of me stopped ,so did i,,and i looked where they were running,behind me,,and there he was,up the bank in the hedge, getting out of the hedge,,he seemed ok so off i went in search of the posessed Dazza


Dazza has asked if i can arrange to have Wales moved down near the Thames

[red98]

Is a bit of a treck........but worth it 

[midden]

 posessed Dazza

possessed?  Dazza is far from possessed,  he keeps a steady head, never leaves the group and is always aware of where they are

[dazza]

Something tells me you're taking the piss Neil. 
 
Here you go Slim. One for your wife, two Welsh goblins.
