Anyone else out there who hasn't been to a Weekender before, and is in 2 minds about going - go for it!
Those of us who went to Wales last year had a great time (despite the weather). The local roads are so good that even in the pouring rain we had some cracking good rides. The A483 Newtown to Crossgates is a classic for a reason.
The Metropole hotel made us feel very welcome, and with a swimming pool and spa, even the non-riding other halves had something to enjoy.
Char's comment hints at the wonderful Arvon Alehouse just across the road from the hotel - a proper no-nonsense but friendly pub with great real ale, cider and a splendidly esoteric range of other drinks (mead, Welsh gin etc.)
While the Weekender is a good opportunity to catch up with old friends, it's always lovely to welcome some new faces.
