Wales Rally Big Bike Trails
Wales Rally Big Bike Trails
Great weekend down in South Wales. Thanks to all that organised it. Shame there were no showers, but people opted for different methods.....some didnt bother, some used wet wipes, some found alternate water sources (Andy H I believe...vid below)
[video][/video]
Some decided water wasnt the best option and decided to roll about in the mud (MinkeyHead)
And after my wet wipe bath in my tent I crawled out to find Harty rubbing wet hay on himself. Beats wet wipes he said!
Will update this thread with details of the big bike trails in due course, have lots of vids and pics.
Thanks to Scrambled Eggs for leading the way!

Re: Wales Rally Big Bike Trails
So the ride leader was Scrambled Eggs....and he didnt inspire confidence by turning up to lead the BIG bike trail ride on a KTM 250 EXC! But he took us to some fantastic lanes. There were about 11 riders on various BIG bikes (sorry, dont know everyones names).
First was the Sarn Helen. A fantastic trail that led to a rocky decent to a ford.
Think this is AndyH...did you spend any time on your bike? This is MinkyHead down...also, did you spend any time on your bike? [video][/video]
A GS on road tyres! Respect.

MinkeyHead comes down

Old BMW with woman rider, sorry cant remember name
[video][/video]
and her husband on an old BMW R80 Paris Dakar bike
[video][/video]
And the ride leader Scrambled Eggs.

A fall by the woman on the BMW, rocky downhill section on the Sarn Helen...not easy
Mr Touratech Nick Plumb joined us on a blinged out 1200 Tenere
And then proceeded to abuse it.
and tries to park it on a log
And a few others decided to copy him...........
Scrambled Eggs takes the hard route

Mark has a go

The old BMW rider has a go, look what the bike pivots on....the downpipes, cant be healthy for the bike!

Fab report, pics & video clips.
Looks like a good time was had by all, I had a personal debrief of the weekends events by Mr Beddows earlier today.
Hope there wasn't to many bruises !
