Ok… So the first day comes! I wake up pretty early a) because we have to b) because I’m used to it, and c) cos I have a moderate hangover.
Hotel Breakfast: GREAT! filled my boots, usual hot buffet stuff…. hmmmm food! I shouldn’t be writing this so close to lunch! Anyway…
Back to the rooms to get kitted up for the off.
The Harley Riders Edge Centre is a short ride away from where the Hotel in Builth Wells. Continue reading “Road Trip (Riders Edge) Part III: Getting There!”
Once I meet up with Dan though the ride all of a sudden became a whole different story!!!
The Route: [MAP FROM Abergele TO Llandrindod]

On this route you get immediately into the whole reason for the trip…. Riding on (challenging? Kinda, but more relaxed tbh) roads that has very little traffic on!
We took a steady pace, because lets face it who wants to rush a ride like that, especially when you have all day Continue reading “Road Trip (Riders Edge) Part II: The Way Down”
OK, so the, premise to this is that I had spoken with some friends previously about an Advanced Riders Course and that its something worth doing. One of my friends (Dan) ended up in conversation with my dad on the very same subject and mentioned that he was planning on doing a course of that nature down in South Wales at the Harley Davidson instruction centre – Riders Edge. As it was coming up to my birthday my dad ran the idea past me and of course I jumped at the chance!
Road trip + Advanced course + Harley experience = What’s not to love! Continue reading “Road Trip (Riders Edge) Part I: The Meet-up”
Having been on many short ride-outs, either on my own or with A.N. Other person, this is the first of merit to let you know about!
As with most of these events, it started with a phone call the afternoon before from a longstanding friend(s Dad, Philip) asking if I like to join then on a ride at 11am the next day. (The friend, Liam, lives in London so these ‘group’ Ride-outs only come by when he’s visiting home).
I cleaned the bike down and fuelled her up in prep for the next day, which reminds me, the bike still hasn’t been named! Suggestions welcome!
