Local Forecast is for breezy sunshine and shower bands on saturday.
Less wind and showers on sunday. Showers will be more concentrated in the east of snowdonia, I'm in the west 8-)
Anglesey and Lleyn Peninsula will be breezy but much drier, roads will be damp patches at worst, trust me, I will find the :sun: as many who have been on ride outs in this area with me know, folks have turned back before and rode home in the rain while we headed on down the Lleyn to beer on the beach in glorious sunshine.
Meet at Fitzpatricks cafe ,top breakfast on river terrace, 10.30 am both days its on Bethesda high st (A5) opposite Spar. BBQ at mine after.
PM for phone and postcode :yup:

Rich, the weather's absolute pants :( for our proposed 140 mile ride over to North Wales this evening so we've amended our travel plans....

The forecast is better after midnight so we're planning to set off early tomorrow morning. If we don't make your 10.30am meet at Fitzpatricks cafe what time do we have to be at yours for the BBQ?

Thanks to Rich and Jill for excellent hospitality last night at their BBQ. Together with Mags and Clive they made our 390 mile round trip over to North Wales well worth doing.

Today's ride through the mountains and then along the Lleyn Peninsula was simply stunning, lots of sunshine, hardly any traffic, dry roads and brilliant scenery, just perfect :P ......

Thanks folks for coming and making me getting old a lovely weekend with great people.
I hope you had as good a time as I did.
I've never spent so long waiting at the side of the road for folks to catch up :hehe:
Best B'day pressie was the smile on Mags face as her (biking)confidence was starting to come back
Priceless to me and well worth the long waits at junctions........to be fair the waits got way shorter towards the end of the weekend 8-) :yup:
AV IT!!!! ya lovely great weegie fun bubble
Emrys says that you were both lovely and he's glad that snowdonia has returned to tranquility......oh yeah and the one with the beard will be ' easily delt with in a scrap' despite his training in the past :shock: :rotfl:
