Fire blake,,ok Sunday i will be down there by 11 or so , so after i seen mummy i will catch you for a spin.
Noggy,, i think the road from Llandovery to Builth wells is a MUST, i took my mate on it last year, fuck its brill and fast, check the map out.
The roads around the dams is small, meet touring busses, not good,,but still a nice place to be.

No, I work for myself, so I can take time off pretty much any time I want... :lol

Generally you just need to avoid the usual rush hours and you can have lots of fun
I was out today on the A32, A39, B3046, A272 and back down the A32 (and quite a few country lanes too) and had a great time :thumbup

Fireblake, i have to check to see if mum is at home on sunday ,if so then we can meet at the Aldi car park, west street, Fareham,, she lives next door to it.
2pm Sunday.Location on Aldi store finder website.
If she is in, i will be going , you could post this on the "meet up" section , to see if any others want to meet, and ride.

Although the countryside wasn't bathed in wall to wall sunshine as predicted by the weather forecasters, it was nice enough for a trip around the lakes. A quick 260 miles this afternoon miles helped to scrub my new tyres in.
Shown here besides Ullswater, my favourite lake up there.![[Image: 2012-09-05_162350.jpg]](http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r216/Old-Nail/2012-09-05_162350.jpg)

i finish work at 3.30 most fridays so i have a couple of hours before SWMBO starts grumbling. noggy, did your route last week from carmarthen. elan valley is a must. not for thrashing though. end up in rhayader and cracking ride home. highly recommended.
Re: Any time off to ride? - Grahamm - 05-09-12
Looks lovely!
Re: Any time off to ride? - noggythenog - 05-09-12
Caretaker,whats the a485 carmarthen to lampeter like please mate?
My plan is to take it up to aberyswyth then loop clockwise round the mountains,go round elan valley then continue clockwise to buith wells llandovery then carmarthen again and back to pembs.
If the 485 a pile of cack then ill stick to the coast road but i could save time on the trip by blasting down to carmarthen first.
Re: Any time off to ride? - caretaker - 05-09-12
not a good road. mostly 50mph so cops are on the lookout. a few 40mph villages thrown in as well. i'd stick to the coast road. if your coming from pembroke way, i like the crymych to cardigan road A478. or over the preseli.
Re: Any time off to ride? - noggythenog - 06-09-12
Cheers geezer,thanks for the advice,im crundale,right on the presseli road & i do enjoy it,(cattle grids aside)im not quite sure what ive got against the coast road,just seem to be always slowing down for villages,but i reckon i'll take it,
Maybe catch u sometime in the future for a spin once ive sussed out some o these roads,ive lived wales a few years now but dont know the roads like you do when you grow up somewhere, plus im a rank amateur but im getting there
Route finder says my trip is 3.5 hrs each way (not incorporating the dams), i best get some photos i suppose
Re: Any time off to ride? - caretaker - 06-09-12
by all means mate. sundays are out for me though!
