Cardiff /Vale of Glamorgan after work ride.

[rich p]

Nope. If it has to be a Saturday, the 21st or 28th Sept don't look altogether impossible. However, what would be ideal for me is to take a Friday off work, in which case my preference would be for 20 Sept. But I don't suppose that's an option for everyone?

It works for me TC

Well, if they catch you, that'll pretty much f**k up the 20th as well.

p.s. 27th is my birthday and I can't think of a better way of celebrating it but I'm easy either way!

Can't do either of them, September is full but don't work it around me as it's a long way for me to go, so wasn't sure if I was going to do it this time.

I'm only warming up. Stick with me and learn...

That much goes without saying.

Gospel Pass.....hmmm....Friday not good for me, but I'll see what I can do. Last time (August 2009) I was in much weaker shape (though I got up it, honestly can't remember if there was any walking) and I ended up losing an argument with that cattle grid on the descent.

So were celebratong Riches birthday with Tablet Snakebite and a stripogram called Jasmin.

Anyone thinking of taking a bike?

[QUOTE 2559444, member: 1314"]How will this work in terms of travel? What time do we start on Friday and where...and do I need to stay the Thursday night etc. And I'm not bringing prosecco for R's b'day.[/quote]

Blimey - keen! You're way ahead of me - I haven't much of a clue. Ideal start in terms of the ride would be Abergavenny, but I'll have to look at the logistics. Newport is a possibility. And yes an early start would be good so getting yourself Walesward on Thursday night would make sense. Rich's birthday is a nice idea but is slightly trickier for me than the previous week. But I can probably get away with it. We need a bit more feedback from other peeps. @lukesdad? @Banjo? @pubrunner? @User13710? @Cheshire Celt? @Doseone? @HLaB? @User482? @515mm?

 

[theclaud]

Well let's put the 27th in heavy pencil. I doubt anyone will die as a result of me taking the day off.

 

[User482]

Excellent. 27th looks ok for me, and I would much prefer to start from Newport, as it's on the main line - I guess it would be the same for anyone not staying over. Or I'll cycle if I'm feeling enthusiastic - but I guess that would be a very early start? It's about 2.5 hours from Bristol.

 

[Doseone]

Really sorry @theclaud - At the moment I can't take time off that week, I've already got someone away in the office. If it gets close to the time and the friday is looking quiet I may be able to do something last minute, but I won't know that until almost the day before. I will try, I really will.

 

[Banjo]

At the moment September is 27th is ok for me. Seems unusual using a weekday but if it works for enough people why not. The Gospel Pass and other back roads will be quieter on a weekday.

 

[rich p]

I'm potentially available either date but don't for one second plan this around my birthday. I celebrate them less and less as I have fewer to look forward to.
I have nothing immutable planned in late September and I'm flexible enough to do weekdays or weekends.

 

[Banjo]

20th would be difficult for me. 13th or 27th are ok.
