Description

After months of planning the weekend finally arrived, the weather reports hadn't been too promising for the weekend but it turned out lovely. Fifteen of us and twelve bikes made our way to North Wales taking in some beautiful sights along the way. We had three different pick up points, due to Westie now living up north it was easier for him to meet us en route in Wales.

Our first planned stop was the Elan Valley to look at the dams. As it hadn't rained too much the previous week only one of the dams was in full flow, they are still spectacular to see even without water pouring from them. We spent a couple of hours in the area then rode the mountain road towards Devils Bridge. After at least eleven hours riding - some of us more, we eventually got to the B&B, shattered. After a quick shower and brush up, all of us headed off to the bar before dinner. The evening was spent with alot of alcohol and laughter, some paid for it the following morning...mentioning no names.

Saturday we had another packed days riding taking in my best part...Horseshoe Pass & Snowdonia. Horseshoe Pass is a must, the road that winds around the mountain up to the very top giving you a magnificent view, the Ponderosa Cafe is a welcoming sight as it can get very chilly up there. Nothing can prepare you for the sights that hit you as you turn the corner towards Llanberis Pass, seeing Snowdon and the other mountain tops covered in snow, that was breathtaking. We also rode around the lakes, Bala being one of them. Everyone was getting quite tired so we cut short the ride and headed back to the B&B for much of the previous evenings shenanigans. We had all stayed dry, the weather was being very kind to us but it wouldn't have made any difference as we were all just gob smacked with the whole weekend so far.

Sunday morning we had breakfast, packed the bikes up ready for the off & said goodbye to Nigel & Tiv the owners of the B&B. We rode home through alot of wet mist but still no pouring rain that was forecast. Some broke off and went in the direction of their home whilst the others headed for the Ace Cafe, it was once we reached the Ace that the heavens opened... We didn't care as we were inside in the warm, by time we were on our way it had brightened up.

In short this was an amazing weekend with breathtaking sights, lovely people, considerate riding and loads of laughs.. "When are we doing it again", I keep being asked.

We also have a group on Flickr where you can upload you own photos and share with the community.
