I've had a cold all week and thought i was getting better.
But i woke up this morning not feeling very good at all.
If i am no better by Sunday i am not goting to be able to come on Monday meet and ride.
I will keep you updated. I have Michaelc2710 number and will call him on Sunday.
I can't believe this as i've been looking forward to meeting some of you.
I know some are staying in Abergavenny on the sunday night.
So if there are others who are wanting to go please still do.

It’s only Thursday !! You’ll be reet by Monday, us Northern Monkeys don’t bite, it’s them Southern ones you’ve to be wary of 😀

Based on the BBC weather forecast for Abergavenny, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657815 Ashley & I will not be attending.

We are going to look at doing it later in the week.

I had a completely dry ride into Abergavenny.

Just found a nice welcoming pub whilst waiting for the others to arrive safely.

Bit late to the party, but I'll be coming down from Shrewsbury in the morning. Have you got a GPX file for the route, or at least a screen shot of a map?

Based on that I've just knocked up the following. It obviously doesn't take into account EasyRider's local knowledge of the best route in & out of town so I've just used the main road, but once were on the road if anyone gets lost, it's good enough.

Great to meet Captain Sisko, who kindly led us around the roads of Wales. Despite looking like rain, we had a completely dry day of riding.

Time for a few more beers at the hotel before dinner in town.

That’s the 2024 UK RT meet up, almost done.
