Not sure where on the forum to put this, but as anyone is welcome to turn up and ride just for a day, forum recreational rides seems a good place to start (Mods, feel free to move it if you think somewhere else is more appropriate 
).
The plan is to get 3 days cycling in a fantastic part of the country, all from a campsite base just outside Hay-on-Wye. Nothing is set in stone yet but I have spoken to a site owner and they are open on the weekend in question and the facilities seem to fit the bill nicely (good location for riding, secluded spot, showers, allows camp fires). Racquety Farm camping is just 0.5 miles out of the town so we have options for evening pub meals if the weather is a bit rotten, or can shop at the Co-op and cook/BBQ on site if the sun is shining
I will probably arrive on Thu 12th to set up tent and gazebo then ride Fri, Sat & Sun with a trip home on Monday. I will be arriving by car so will bring a small BBQ and other basic camping kit, a couple of chairs, a gazebo which is always useful for shade or shelter when camping and some basic bike toolkit.
I also intend to bring a road bike and an MTB to best take advantage of the riding in the area so will do a road ride on Fri, MTB on Sat and final road ride on Sun.
As I already said, nothing is set in stone so this may change to suit participants. People are welcome to come along for just one day or one night and we don't even have to ride all together, smaller groups can do their own thing if they don't fancy the proposed route on a particular day. The main thing is we can all regroup in the evenings to socialise around the camp fire with a beer (or in the nearest pub if the weather is poor!).
Anyone interested? School summer holidays will be over so things should have quietened down a bit and it is a good chance to get away for some quality cycling time without having to fight the hordes....
