Discussed at the Unicorn last night and Andy posted on Facebook.
A couple of our Group members are looking at organising a run to Aberystwyth.
If you would like to attend then please select which would be the best option for you below.
Thanks Andy
Facebook users are asked to vote for Sat 15th or Sun 16th... October.
Run being organised by Tony Owen and Stavros...
A route through the Elan Valley, Devils bridge and then Fish and chips in Aberystwyth . Then down the coast to Aberaeron and back via Lampeter, Llandovery and Sennybridge.
Probably starting from Merthyr/Hirwaun or a layby on the Beacons A470 - to be confirmed etc..

Hi Oz
I only read on FBook, don't like posting but will convey your position... I have a dilemma, in that that weekend is the HSCC Finals event at Silverstone and we'd planned to go on the Sunday when the Imps are racing (there's usually a bit of and end of series celebration with a good crowd of Imp supporters). Probably going to opt for the MGF run if Sunday is chosen - would rather the drive (getting to Silverstone is boring), plus we get to see you and Louise ! The other issue is that the Saturday evening was ear-marked for a meal out with friends to celebrate my birthday from earlier in the week...not sure we'd get back in time if the run is Saturday. Can't have it all can we?
Phil

It looks like the Sunday is most popular at the moment. Tony and I are doing a recce in the near future so I will keep you all updated on this our FORUM. Phil I hope you and Leslie make the right choice and join us on the Sunday.

Think it's definitely going to be Sunday, unless there's a very late Saturday surge !

Probably starting from Merthyr/Hirwaun or a layby on the Beacons A470 - to be confirmed etc.. Would the route be sticking to the A470 from Rayader or turn left to follow the Mountain Road over top of the reservoirs and down into Cwmystwyth and Devils Bridge via the B4574? Recently I drove the mountain road a little and it is very scenic! Alternatively a route around the reservoirs past Elan Valley visitor center which joins back up with the Mountain Road is available if people want to sight see some more. Both very driveable! |

Out on a recce drive tomorrow. I intend to take in the reservoirs past Elan valley visitor centre and meet up with the mountain road then onwards to the devils bridge. I did the route years ago on a gxsr 1000 and saw no scenery at all.. This time it should be different.  |

Looks like it will be a good 140 mile circuit for me, I like it!  |

Hope to make this run, but it will be a long day for me coming from Cinderford.
Also it's my birthday, so I'll have to put of family celebrations to another day[if allowed].
