Oh, I agree. It's just I'm still in the era of a bunch of mates jumping on bikes and buggering off somewhere

Wasn't a criticism ... as I said, I avoid large group rideouts and didn't realise it had become so complicated

Stevo just making you aware it look's like the old bridge will be closed East bound over the weekend and wasn't sure which way round you were running the ride. May be worth doing loop from the old bridge and heading back over the new? If returning home on new bridge just head back to Magor from Chepstow, no biggee. If you let me know which route suits, myself and Kwik will meet you at Aust sevices (OLD) or Magor services (NEW) and I can take you to cheaper fuel before heading too far into Wales, if you need

Hi...

Thanks for that, i did not know the old bridge was out...

We will look at 2 pick up points then.

Bridgwater - Riders Motocycles for a 10 AM departure.

Aust Services for 11AM departure into Wales.

Old bridge into Wales, New bridge back if that's OK with folks...

Works for me. See you in Bridgewater for 10

Sorry to interrupt....!

Just so folks know, Riders does NOT open on a Sunday, so if you require 'facilities', Sainsburys is just round the corner ;)

As you were...

I suspect that they don't open until 10.00 (Sunday)

Always,use a McDonald's for meeting points.

The food may be crap but they always seem to be open and have facilities.

Hi.

I've recently moved to Bristol (last week) so not been on this forum much until now. I may be up for coming along tomorrow if the weather is good. I've got a few different bikes for different kinds of riding but for a blast round wales I'd come on a KTM Superduke.

Got three small kids so part of the decision will be whether I can persuade the other half that I won't be around to help unpack and sort out the house. Wish me luck......

If I get away I'd be better off meeting at the services near Bristol at 11.

Riders does not open Sunday... at all...

Meet at Bridgwater McDonalds 9:30ish ready to leave for 10AM.

Sainsbury's is next door so can fill up if needed.

Weather looks OK, Final call will be made at 7:30 PM tonight and put on the thread.

Steve

Unfortunately I cant make it now

Sorry for the late post...

Weather good...

It's on like Donkey Kong

, as Eastbound on bridge is shut Steve we'll catch you at the lay by on the drag to Chepstow

Lets meet at Magor services then 11AM
