    In addition to Roger, for routes in West-ish/South Wales, the routes for the following sportives should give us some guidance too:

    Dragon Ride
    Tour of the Black Mountains
    The Devil Ride

    Now <puts tin hat on>, without wishing to throw a spanner in the works, but what about the Pennines/Cat & Fiddle etc?

    yup those 3 sportive cover the whole of the beacons. what i would say is there are some roads and lanes that one could not reasonbly send a sportive route down that a smaller group would be fine with, and also much less busy.

    cat & Fiddle sounds good as well though.

    (adopts cheezy californian accent) Oh Man!

    I'd be well up for this but wife and one year old make it impossible.

    Keep it posted up here where you end up going, If you end up in wales it may be possible to join in for a day?

    I could give DDD something to laugh at as he cruises away :oops:

    I'll be living up in Notts soon so if you do head up to the Peak then I might be able to sneak away and join you. It's all going to be rather tricky with this marriage thing but the good lady sometimes likes to get rid of me :D

    There are some very nice roads in the Peak. Either side of the Cat is Macc Forest with the option of Toot Hill steep but short or the other side of the resevoir which is not so steep and has been resurfaced recently. The Goyt Valley is great too with the gentle climb from the resevoir back up to the Cat being absolutely beautiful. If you do decide to head that way I'll let you know the roads I have found and enjoyed.


    Sorry about the spelliing earlier, I meant Bwlch y Groes (prob spelt it wrong again).

    This sounds fun, but I'm away in August. And that means I have to work when I'm back. Like, proper work, dudes. :(

    Wouldn't they be ones that hang around in groups, like the andes? As apposed to the wrekin which is a bit of a loner with a dog.

    the hill nr my folks place has a bench at the top, i suspect one would want to use it after climbing it, it has average grade of 19% so it's bit of so and so and is my hill to beat.

    I *might* be able to come if we head over towards the Beacons and the wife even made a suggestion but it would mean sleeping in tents............my father in law has a nice big field and we have many tents which could all probably be used for free.
    He also does a wicked BBQ! He lives in Bromyard, which is sorta near Malvern if that helps.

    I could do a long weekend, especially if we are in that area as we (the family) can visit the father in law and I can then go and get my rocks off riding my bike with some great people! I'd really like the opputunity to take on some proper hills as well ;-)

    In pretty much the same situation in that I have to consider the family. Totally up for camping - perhaps an option might be to have somewhere with a barn and a campsite nearby so that the family types could be included. August bank holiday sounds like it might be an option, perhaps with a day on either side? Have only put Beacons down as its more accessible for a long weekend.

    herefordshire nice place, not that far from the beacons either, though a good 30/45min drive mind you lovely area it's self though if your after hills at least in that area the beacons are on the whole the place to be.

    Well numbers are picking up, I fired an email off this arvo to a place that deals with cottages etc in the Brecons based on 10 people but when they get back to me i'll up the numbers.

    @Bass - no way am I camping, thanks for the offer but I need my creature comforts! However we could certainly look at places that offer camping as well.

    Good to see lots of folk interested. Now all hands to the deck finding a suitable location to stay. Given numbers it should all work out to be reasonably cheap, I'm leaning towards Wales as the location though.

    Hey back off tarty boy i've not long been home from work, on the tube, train & car I have a lot of anger to vent yet, actually i'm knackered back on the good Ol 15 hour days 5 days a week with 24/7 on call - gotta love IT.

    Worst of all is I have the parts for a complete new bike now and not enough time to build it, that is SOOOOOOO wrong. :evil:
