Shame you can't make it. It'll be my first mid/north Wales ride without you there!!
Never mind at least you'll be getting hammered too
It's about 75 miles for me to get to crossgates ash so I'm in same boat. You rucksacking it as well or do you have tailpack or similar? Luckily for you tho you get to drop it @ trickys in the morning, I have to hump mine around virtually all of Wales! Better pack light :thumbup
