Ride Out Sunday 15th January 9am. To Bleddfa Forest & Knighton

[Foody]

Happy New Year to all my biking chums.  I hope you still managed to get out and about a bit between the showers, or should I say downpours, over the Christmas break.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to all those who supported the Teddy Bear Run to the Heath Hospital just before Christmas.  Over 400 Teddies and Cuddly Toys were delivered.  Thanks and Well Done to you all for that.

Here is news of the next ride out.  Sunday the 15th of January.  Meeting at Caerphilly Mountain Snack Bar - The Mountain Monster on the A469 on the top of Caerphilly Mountain, just North of Cardiff.

Meeting at 9am for a 9.30am departure.

We will be aiming for the Bleddfa Forest area and then Knighton for a lunch stop. (Mid Wales)

We did a run up there recently and were hoping to stop in the Hundred House Inn but despite having had an email to tell me they were open again for business we found it closed when we got there.  So we will try again, but if not the Horse & Jockey Pub in Knighton has always been very welcoming.  ( an idea of numbers would be useful in advanced if we are going to arrive for food in a gang).

We will be running with the 'Second Man/Woman Drop Off' Navigation System.
The drop off system means that you do not need to keep the rider in front of you in view so you can ride for yourself, at you own pace.  It must be stressed that you take part in the ride out at your own risk and in attending it is assumed that you & and your bike are in a legal and roadworthy condition.  It must be stressed that you do not need to put yourself under any pressure to play catch up and you do not need to exceed the speed limit to do so.  You may partake in tis ride for as long or as little as you want and you must ride within your own, and your bike's limitations. This is not a race. A full explanation as to how the drop off system works will be given at the start of the ride so please arrive in time for the safety briefing.

Potential for Mrs Dallewed and me, depending on the weather. Just a thought - the Red Lion Pub on the A44, (prior to getting to Hundred House), is a great pub with good food.

I'm not sure of the return time. But leaving after lunch.  Taking the direct route back from Knighton is about 90 mins straight riding but with a tea stop on the way a bit longer.

But if you need to get back at a certain time you can drop off at any time that suits.

Might be up for this depending on weather and my location on that morning :)

And a "tailend charlie"

I love the droppoff system, it takes all pressure off the people behind to keep up / keep a bike in sight

[HAMMERHEAD]
