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.  :D

Looks like you guys have well and truly kick-started the season  :thumbup 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?  :D

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.
