Oof nice. You stopped in weston is that? I did today and am about 75% certain some cretins were about to try and bike jack me. But then Weston is as Weston does, as they say.

Did the English language influence the French there, or (what I suspect) did the French language really influence the English ?

[Matt]

Aha I think we all know which way round it was most likely to be! I :p

Although until now I didn't know this was one the pilfered words we have here!

Bonnet de douche!

Edit: Tom, love the blue bike! You run any panniers ever?
Double edit: and what's the exhaust please?

Quel malheur, Matthieu !

alluding to the humanity of such people, despite their disability

My favourite part of that link!

Hi Matt, I only use the top box 64Lts, I get most things in there for a weeks riding and if more is needed a roll up on the rear seat,

I will not spend £1000 on an exhaust when these work just as well,



The stop was at Cheddar Gorge for coffee and food, the ride was anticlockwise from Hereford, a great day out with the sun on us all day.

With continuing optimism (in the UK at least), a gentle bump for this thread.

When:
Mon 14th - 16th June

Where:
Llanwrtyd Wells

If anyone else wants to join in the fun, please check the details in the top post of this thread.

Still no definitive news on the European front, Phillipe, but there is now talk that either a pre-travel negative test or proof of double vaccine may allow Brits out into Europe from 17th May onwards, but not much details of the reciprocal arrangements. As I said previously - it's always all about us going out, and not about people coming in!
We'll keep an eye out for further details.

Growing pessimism (realism ?) about the evolution made me cancel my room just today. I don't expect I'll be able to attend. And as UK-national travels are already allowed, I think it's not more than fair to give the gentle houselady at the Neuadd Arms hotel the possibility to rent my room to someone local rather than to keep it reserved for me being unlikely to be able to attend after all. Even if I still don't despair, I think it's an appropriate thing to do...

[richtea]

Ah, that's a shame Philippe - but probably quite realistic.
I've removed you from the list of attendees, but we hope to see you next year, if not before.

[raesewell]

You can always rebook if the situation changes Philippe.

[Phmode]

...and, as a back-up to the re-book, Lil at Bryncelyn has a lovely non-en-suite room on the top floor with its own, private bathroom.

[Matt]

Thanks for the update Richard. And sorry we won't be seeing you this year Philippe!

I suppose with just over a month to go i should start working out how to get the routes into the phone, the bike app, the bike, the tomtom, and maybe my memory! Should just be enough time... for one or two of those.

[chriscanning]

My other half and myself have been out and about quite a bit recently, biggest hassle as life has to conducted outside is finding coffee or food outlets with such even for two, with one exception Shobdon airfield which has both decent catering and plenty of tables, which would probably work for you guys.

You missed paper!
I need to finalize the routes. As in take the final wrinkles (Wrinklies?) out when the route is imported into different devices.

It will happen in the next week or two.

By June they're either going to be open - or bust, Chris. 
Here's hoping it's the former for most of them.
