Wales weekend 2014

thekickingmule

Pretty sure I'm in

Northwind

So where are we at? Got the time booked off work, so I guess I'm going to Wales, will there be anyone else there?

DodgeT

Yeah, there's at least 10 of us booked on.

Weather permitting, Saturday, Snowdon in the morning then maybe a trail centre in the afternoon if legs are up for it.
Sat night booked into the glen aber hotel http://hotelsinsnowdonia.com/, some in the bunkhouse, some in twin rooms, let me know if you want to jump in with 1 of us lot, as I think there may be a space in one of the bunks/rooms for the sat night.
Then Sunday we're booked in for stiniog. I've arranged it as a group booking with Adrian, so it may be easier for you to be in the group as it were, up to you of course.

Will be good!

I'll update the first post to keep it simple for people interested.

Northwind

Cheers boss! Should be great. Me and Peternumbers are coming down a few days earlier for a bit of trailcentring too so if anyone fancies joining us give us a shout. probably Llandegla ont eh wednesday, coedy beasty on the thurs, not sure of the fri.

DodgeT

Want me to add you to the stiniog list?

Northwind

I am literally on my way out the door to nevis range but yes please, Andrew Cunningham and Peter Douglas. We'll sort accomodation ourselves, the bunkhouse was a bit prison rapey

DodgeT

Done.

Me too, especially as you won't be able to gloat over your super-lightweight carbon wheels....



But will they crack and fail on the tough, hard, Welsh Mountain-side and will I be killed to death??

Northwind

I like that you've offset the weight reduction with 5lbs of mudguard.

have you been to Antur ?

Northwind

Aye, came down for this thing last year and rode it then, tis ace.

DCR00

I love riding there. Just wish it was closer.

Northwind

Hmm. Is anyone on the lookout for antur passes? Having car problems and there's a pretty good chance I won't be able to fix it in time for the trip Not for definite yet but we might end up having 2 spaces we could pass on.

I hope your out there now fixing it!

Northwind

Injector in the mail! But won't know til the weekend if this is the fix.

According to Facebook, the new Blue track has been opened at Antur

Called Jympar

From the pics I've seen and my last trip up there, it looks like a bit of a jump-fest

Will be good for a blast or two next weekend!

DCR00

Will be my first ride in 6 weeks. In fact Antur was the last place i rode. Was planning a blast round Deggy tonight, but i have the Chicken Pox my Boy had two weeks ago, so I'm confined to the house...

On the plus side, Tracey has been stripped and rebuilt with new frame bearings and some fangled needle bearings in the rear shock, so first ride should be pretty damn good

Due to unforseen circumstances you will now have to put up with me turning up

Northwind

That's me and Petenumbers out Feels like it's not the best idea to drive 600 odd miles in a mondingo firing on 3 cylinders. Very bummed out...

So that also means there's 2 spare antur stiniog tickets on the go, I've a feeling it's sold out so if anyone wants 'em let me know

pesky_jones

Erp anyone from herts/essex going that wants free petrol and has a spare seat? How feasible is it to join in on this, this late?

DCR00

So I've never met any of you in person

Give me a car type/colour i can use as a point of reference as it will be pretty busy on Sunday

I will be in a Silver Golf 06 plate. Riding a Raw Tracer VP.
