You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have.

Thank-you.

Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

Oh, I agree. It's just I'm still in the era of a bunch of mates jumping on bikes and buggering off somewhere :wink:

Wasn't a criticism ... as I said, I avoid large group rideouts and didn't realise it had become so complicated :(

Stevo just making you aware it look's like the old bridge will be closed East bound over the weekend and wasn't sure which way round you were running the ride. May be worth doing loop from the old bridge and heading back over the new? If returning home on new bridge just head back to Magor from Chepstow, no biggee. If you let me know which route suits, myself and Kwik will meet you at Aust sevices (OLD) or Magor services (NEW) and I can take you to cheaper fuel before heading too far into Wales, if you need :)

Hi...

Thanks for that, i did not know the old bridge was out...

We will look at 2 pick up points then.

Bridgwater - Riders Motocycles for a 10 AM departure.

Aust Services for 11AM departure into Wales.

Old bridge into Wales, New bridge back if that's OK with folks...

Sorry to interrupt....! :)):

Just so folks know, Riders does NOT open on a Sunday, so if you require 'facilities', Sainsburys is just round the corner ;)

I suspect that they don't open until 10.00 (Sunday)
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Always,use a McDonald's for meeting points.

The food may be crap but they always seem to be open and have facilities.

Hi.

I've recently moved to Bristol (last week) so not been on this forum much until now. I may be up for coming along tomorrow if the weather is good. I've got a few different bikes for different kinds of riding but for a blast round wales I'd come on a KTM Superduke.

Got three small kids so part of the decision will be whether I can persuade the other half that I won't be around to help unpack and sort out the house. Wish me luck...... :D

If I get away I'd be better off meeting at the services near Bristol at 11.
