Roll up for slimwilly's "sites of carnage" guided tours!  :rolleyes  :lol

Had a couple of brief stops, but roads were nearly empty on the way home

You bastids........i woulda been on my day off but agreed to overtime meaning i didnt come off shift til 0700 this morning......i was sat around the house in just my undercrackers......28 degrees outside and 26 inside in the shade ffs......i shoulda be out on the bike for sure but oh well you win some you lose some.......looks like yous had a good time and imo 4 bikes is probably the perfect number for a decent hoot 8)

And it's because of talk like that, that I currently have my Gen 1... and many many... many credit cards  :evil

Back home now after just under 700 miles in 3 days, my arse is sore but the trip was well worth it.

I can't thank Slim & Nick sufficiently for their generosity in taking a full day out for what I have christened "Crisp Willy Eater's grand Welsh day out featuring Andy" or "It weren't araf hot Mum"

The weather was beautiful
The scenery was beautiful
The roads were beautiful
The company was beautiful rugged

Wales more than lived up to the hype as biking paradise, the route Slim picked had the best stretches of Tarmac I've ever ridden, just fantastic.

Things went a little bit awry when we played "Spot the Willy"


Fazers on stunning


The hunting pack

Beautiful photos PieEater. Er, well, mostly. I'm sure they'll give you much pleasure when you browse through them at an idle moment  :lol

Glad you enjoyed it, but you don't need the company for that, although that can be a bonus  :lol. Just a good bike, which you have of course, and good weather. We looked at mostly A road stuff yesterday, but if you ever get the chance to go back, have a look at some of the smaller mountain roads too. A different kind of riding, and the scenery is even better. You can easily spend a week or two exploring the area, and still want to go back for more. Let me know if you do decide to go again, and I can recommend many more routes 

[slimwilly]

I am glad you enjoyed it Mr PieEater, a fantastic day out, my bum is back to normal now  :lol :lol :lol


Thanks for the excuse to take a day off,,did Andy get his visiting done?

[PieEater]

Hi Slim - Yes Andy made it up to see his relatives with a slight unintentional detour, Nick was pretty spot on with his timing too at three and a half hours.

I like that last pic through the grass......like a herd of bison at the watering hole


If only someone had parked the red yin in unison it woulda been better......possibly a reason for it being kept away from the grass :b

Yes, kept away from the grass Noggy. We dursn't like the grass - that's for you sheep fans. Will you join us on the next trip? Maybe you could be parking shepherd  :lol
