Hi All, Please see last years itinerary below. 2017 will be similar and will be posted nearer the time.
I know it may seem early to start booking but Hotels book up well in advance and when we are looking at say 25 rooms we need to start now.
The weekender is always a great event and we have visited various areas over the years.
Last years Wales weekender was a great success and a lot of comments were made about going back to ride the great roads and enjoy the hotel/bar banter etc.
There are various photos in the weekender archive, I will ask someone to see if they can put a few together to posts up.
Weekender 2016 itinerary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only 5 weeks to go
Andy & I thought it's about time to share with you all our plans for the weekend.
Friday 29th April
4.00 onwards - arrive and check in
7.30 - meet for drinks in Spencer's Bar
8.00 - dinner
Saturday 30th April
Breakfast 7.30 to 9.30
Choice of two ride outs:
Andy's Great Northern route
Departing 10.00 a.m. a figure of 8 route of 184 miles heading up into Snowdonia, with spectacular lake and mountain views, lunch at the Lakeside cafe (and 2 fuel stops at 60 and 120 miles). In the unlikely event that the "guaranteed sunshine" fails to materialise, the route can be cut short at the crossover point.
OR
A Brecon Beacons Bimble
Departing at 11.00, for the 75 mile shorter route, a fun mix of A and B roads heading south to the Brecon Beacons with a tea/lunch stop at the very welcoming Owls Nest Cafe, Llandovery
Before dinner at 7.30, there should be time to check out the hotel spa, and/or the Arvon Alehouse across the road.
After dinner, the Great Welsh Pub Quiz!
Sunday 1st May
Breakfast 8-10 am
10:30 - the National Monster Ride Out - we know what JP has planned, and we're sure you'll love it!
Lunch wherever and whenever you fancy
Afternoon: get your vote in for the 2016 Bike Awards!
15:00 - awards presentation, followed by...
15:30 - the raffle, in aid of the Wales Air Ambulance
After the raffle – chill out, back to the spa and/or bar, and head out for dinner - we'll see what people fancy (although I'd never object if the vote is for curry!)
Monday 2nd May
Breakfast 7.30 to 9.30
Check out by 11 am.
If anyone would like the gpx files of the Saturday ride-out routes for their satnavs, let me or Andy know and we can make them available before the weekender. We'll provide hard copies of the routes in the welcome packs.
There are still rooms available if anyone else is tempted to join us (whether for all 3 nights, 2 or even just 1). PM me or AndyC_772 if you're interested.
Likewise, if you fancy just turning up for the day, whether to join us for the National Rideout and/or the show on the Sunday, or one of the Saturday rides, you'd be very welcome.
Looking forward to seeing you all
