I've spoken to Markus and it's looking most unlikely that he'll have a new bike by Monday 6th May.

If this is the case, I will not be riding down to Abergavenny on my own.

How do those others who are attending feel about me starting another thread for a meet at Ilkeston on the same day. If it's a problem, I won't do it. I'll wait for any feedback from EasyRider, MikeS & BoB21 first, thank you.

Fair play on your ability/restrictions at the moment, your organizing it, you do what you want/need. Im a big boy and more than happy to look after myself and like i said id meet up at stops if enough people coming.

You're free to start another thread, you might get some local interest. However, Ive signed up to Easyrider's rideout and will stick with that.

I'm sorry that this thread has gone a bit off route.

As long as others who are coming are happy with the route i've mapped out, i would like to stick to it.

But if there are any roads on the route you would like to change for the better, please do.

Remember this is Bank Holiday Monday and the roads will be busy, so the route may take longer.

Fair enough, espescially with your knee. Is honey cafe in Bronllys still good after covid? (That is not a sugestion, interested for myself if defiate from planned route). Also do you know if gospel pass is open after road went missing? Hmmmmm went over after road collapsed, luckily ;) somebody had pushed over road closed sign and hmmm I never saw it. wasnt much tarmac left.
