I’ll be leading this Sundays ride-out – as per usual, meet up in the Workies car park - set off time is 10am sharp (that’ll be a first!).

The intended (purposely unpublished) route takes in a stops at Broxton, the Ponderosa  on the Horsehoe Pass,  Bala Lake, Betws-y-Coed and a couple of others – each around an hours riding apart.

The total distance is going to be over 230 miles, if you fill-up before arriving at the Workies then you should be able to get to Bala and will be able to fill-up there (where I will be topping-up).

That’s the plan – but, looking at the weather forecast for Sunday, it seems it is definitely going to rain in Wales in the afternoon and early evening – so if you are coming along, prepare to get soaked if you don‘t have waterproofs with you.

If the weather is too awful (or looks like it’s going to be really bad where I am heading) I may change the route on a whim and point my bike (and therefore the people following me) towards clearer skies  - it’s and adventure after all.

The only other points to mention are that I will be sticking to speed limits so, unless you are dragging along at the back don‘t expect this to be a fast ride (this also depends on how many riders turn up – the more riders the slower the ride, inevitably).

If anyone wants to know anything about the route, don’t ask, ’cos I ain’t gonna tell you – that way you will never realise we are all lost and just think I am taking you down some interesting roads.

Here’s hoping the weather stays rain free on Sunday
