Thanks to everyone up North for a cracking weekender.
Mike, that was one he'll of a rabbit out of the bag at short notice!
Great to meet up with some new and familiar faces.

The guest speaker, Peter, was the icing on the cake.

I arrived home at approx 12.15pm.
The bike's been washed, and checked over already!

Roll on next years.......

Huge round of applause & much appreciation for the UKMOC NW massive!

A brilliantly organised & executed weekend - tremendous!

Great hotel venue, Portmerion was very special, safe & disciplined rideout (well the one I went on anyway), I really had a great weekend.

Special thanks to Mike & Geoff for all your hard work & dedication which resulted in a truly memorable weekender, not least because I won an award, now proudly on display at Rhynehart Towers.

Apologies for being a bit of a fairy on Sunday, it was just too cold for my old carcass to cope with.

Bit disappointed there wasn't a category for best trailer or biggest poof, or I could have cleaned up on the awards - maybe next year?

I will post some photos when I can - which hosting site is easiest to use?

Thanks Char!
I also have some short video footage from my iPad of the Sunday ride-out setting off from the hotel (unedited because I wouldn't have a clue how to edit). What's the best way to share this?

Got home about an hour ago after clipping the edge of a storm for the last 25 or so miles, kept it nailed rather than stopping to put wetties on. So everything is hanging by the fire now!
Never got my heater fixed, but a stonking Weekender all round, gilded by the fabulous company.
As BRD said, the rides were sensibly executed on some reasonably challenging roads with nobody seeming to fully trust their cool tyres! But what stunning views all along the way.
I have to take my hat off to DACS for his heroic ride over, just for Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast... That's dedication.

Mike is now officially inducted into the UKMOC Worshipful order of Cat Herds, the club's highest honour, and received it on behalf of the rest of the North West team for an absolutely superlative effort creating a truly memorable Weekender.

Huge thanks to all the ladies and Gentlemen involved.. Well done..

Cat of nine tails

So pleased everyone enjoyed the weekend and got back home safe.apart from abandoning Jeff when we left on Sunday morning I quite enjoyed being tail gunner for the day !

Gazza,I am delighted to receive the cat whisperer honour, now if you can PM me some "clothing" website addresses to buy some gear to accompany my whip that would be appreciated

As someone who uses Bra strap and suspender belts to secure my panniers, you probably wouldn't want to me to recommend any "clothing" suppliers!
All you have to do when you go to use your new wand, is just roll one trouser leg up...

A massive thank you to Mike and all the gang for a fabulous weekender.

Great ride outs, site seeing, food, beer and loads of banter.

So pleased my clutch held out the whole weekend and made it home ok.

Now time to move house !

Awesome weekend - was great finally meeting so many names I've been following on here over the past 5 years. UKMOC really is a boss bunch. The rides were brilliant and a great expansion on some of the routes we usually travel - the sites were stunning - food everywhere was great - hotel brill - Pete's talk was incredible and insightful. The icing on the cake was my baby winning 'bike of the year' - thanks to everyone who voted for it

Can we do it all again please? There's another bank holiday in 3 weeks - c'mon Mike it only took us 3 to re organise this one

Nice one Pezz!, there is of course a major downside for you to having a second one in 3 weeks time .........your reign of having bike of the year may only last 3 weeks !! Bike of the month does not do your hard work justice, enjoy mate

Well done to Moco and all, nice hotel, good food, great rides and scenery.
Peter need to write a book, there must be so much more to tell from behind the scenes.
Book there again for next year, North Wales has lots more to see.
