Depending what you like it's really very good. Excellent biking roads, nice scenery, decent food and drink and other than lots of tourists not much to moan about. 1 Quote
Pie man Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Great Roads and Scenery, a few major roads around North Wales now have average speed camera's, still a joy to ride. There is a good mix of A and B roads, nice little villages to stop off for food. Bala, Llangollen, Barmouth to name but a few. 1 Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 If you're in N Wales make sure you drop in at Old Stores bike cafe. Be warned that the proper brekky stops at 11.00am though. 4 Quote
rennie Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Good Morning I could eat that breakfast right about now! 1 Quote
dynax Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Good morning could do with a nice brekky like that today sadly I don't have time too much to do, might do myself one tomorrow though hmmm 1 Quote
Gerontious Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 That is definitely NOT a proper breakfast. where's the bacon. where are the sausages. a slice of black pudding and an egg. half the plate covered in bread? no. This: . Quote

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I think Thursday will be a bimble round N Wales, perhaps over the Denbigh Moors and over the tops towards the coast. 3 Quote

If you do find a radiator leak , let me know because I know an effective temporary fix . 1 Quote

Hi Bob, it's not the rad the cooling system is full it's the mechanical seal behind the impeller that is keeping me amused Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Went out this morning. Got soaked. Gradually dried out as the day went on. Coming home, 5 minutes from home the heavens opened and now the house is filled with wet gear dripping all over the place. This meant my beloved spotted my new kit so now it's new frock time as well. 1 2 Quote

Buy new stuff in the same colour as the old, then it’s not noticed. Quote

dynax Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Had a ride to Go Outdoors mainly to look at fishing luggage, seen a nice holdall for a reasonable price and looking at some new telescopic sea rods, there is some good gear at very reasonable prices I can feel a shopping day happening in the very near future Quote

Do you find if you dress in a new frock it calms her down? I would have thought a present for her might be more appropriate. Cheers Ian 3 Quote

Cheers Ian If you take note of the biker brekkies I consume then the sight of my less than svelte like physique clad in a frock would fail to have the desired effect. 3 Quote
