The places I mentioned are Fronlwyd holiday cottage, 2 miles from me, I do the odd bits of work for them, the trail bike place is Trail rides Wales, 4 miles the other way. Done some stunning rides with them up North Wales and Cardiganshire. For my money the best summer ride they do is along the coast routes by Barmouth and Tywyn, sea views and wonderful green lanes. The roads here are equally excellent, I wish I had time to explore more of them.

Thanks for all the replies

I am now thinking about first or second weekend in August

I have also been looking at the trail bike Options of which there are many. Best option could be the one near Welshpool maybe but there are others

Plan would be to arrive Sat lunch with a ride out on the afternoon, B&B overnight and then a trail day on the Sunday

Trail ride day Would be around £200 but sounds fun and I guess if we had a decent few we could get a group discount/booking.

I am happy to act as organiser and facilitator but first please indicate any preference for first or second weekend of august and I will go from there

If the trailbike option is one folks are interested in I think there are cheaper options if anyone has their own machines, when I was with groups headed out we took mixed groups of owner / riders and renting the bikes, and sometimes divided up to give the expirienced riders a challenging route whilst saving begginers smoe of the more vigerous stuff.
Regards date, I'd be fine with any as I'm currently self employed, providing I am not too broke to have a weekend off  that is. If any members are too broke to go b&b we have a few fields and a lawn a tent could be pitched on.
Looks like I'd better get the dust off my stalled rebuild soon, one cb500 for riding the roads and one kl250 for the lanes...

Looks like there is quite a lot of interest but the off reading option seems less popular maybe due to extra cost

Can I suggest therefore a meet up on a Sat afternoon/evening say mid wales and for those who want to an overnight stay and a Sunday am ride out locally

Can people pm me that are interested in an overnight stay and I will be happy to take on organiser role

As to dates I am thinking 1st weeken August maybe

Thx
