    I've (unofficially) done a similar thing. There's a trotting carriage, or whatever they're called, which uses the A48 between Cardiff and Newport, so I 'race' it when I see it. They're surprisingly quick (and I'm unsurprisingly slow).

    Traps, I have seen them on the A48 occasionally but more often along the Wentloog/Lighthouse Road between Newport and Cardiff, they are from the travellers site (they dont seem to do much travelling... but aparently the other word is considered offensive). Have never tried to race them lol.

    Yeah, I've seen it down there too (a nice route with a tailwind, horrible in a headwind). I thought they were training, though. Maybe not. I know the traveller's site. I almost hit a goat there once.

    Yes you are right the wind can be very nasty. I have seen some lovely horses down there so they may well have been training, my brother is into his horses and often meets the travellers at shows/sales etc. he told me they are training for races at a massive travellers fair in Cumbria.

    , my brother is into his horses

    Does he have any hot tips for Cheltenham - I'm going tomorrow. My 'I'm from Newbury' bluff works with my friends, but not with the bookies.

    Dont think he follows racing, his main interest seems to be prancing around in jodhpurs and gossiping with teenage girls :?

    I wasn't sure if I should open this at work. When I saw the thread title I figured FF's adoration for certain riders had gone up to a whole new level.
