It's in its seventh year. Turn up, pitch up, eat drink, sleep and then ride the next day through the varied and wonderful roads of Wales. There's usually a majority of TDM's and other types too. Pace is sensible and safe - you can ride as fast as you like or happily follow on behind because I'll be leading and will stop at all important points on route to keep us all together. If you fancy it, visit the link and throw yourself into the plan.... Everyone's welcome

If anyone is interested, the plan is to end up in Cardiff for the Classic Jap Bike Show... The VJMC class anything over 15 years old as classic... So there may be some MK1 TDMs there...
Let Readmarx know if you are coming with us
The VJMC are proud to present a new show in Cardiff.
This is a one day indoor show that is open to every type of motorcycle, classics, new, trikes, off road, (and if we can find any) drag bikes. We have even asked the Scooter clubs. They do have some nice machines.
There will be local dealers, auto jumble ect. On site is the local sportsclub that will be serving hot & cold food as well as opening their bar.
The idea is to have a one day Uttoxeter
Date:- 9th May 2010
Venue:- Whitchurch School
Time:- 10:00 - 17:00
Cost:- £4.50

It's the weekend of 8th/9th May Dappers - although there's a few of us going on Friday 7th
we normally stop at the campsite at Rhayader
http://www.wyesidecamping.co.uk/
Don't have to book, just turn up ........go into Rhayader for something to eat & a pint
Up to the pub for breakfast on Saturday - then a day pootling around Wales, ending back at the campsite.
out again on sat urday for a couple o' beers & food - then everyone do their own thing on sunday (that VJMC thing sounds interesting though)
All very informal - Readie normally has some bloody good roads sorted for us to do though

The camping is going to be in Abergavenny... See Readmarx's post from CMC below...
QUOTE
Right! Here we go. Just spoken to the nice owner of the campsite: http://www.blossompa...o.uk/index.html He likes his ale..... 
He's a brummy and has a nice set up from the sounds of it.
It's just on the outskirt of Abergavenny. For two reasons. First, when you come to the site make sure you travel along the B4521 as it's a corker.
Second, Abergavenny has a bunch of pubs and has the Abergavenny "bus stop" which is a bikers meating point and where we'll have breakfast on the morning of the ride. Third, did I say third? He'll do us a £5 per night tent pitch as a special for bikers.
So that's the place. We're meeting there Friday night and riding Saturday. I should be there... about 4pm and heading straight for le maison du public. There's a golf club opposite that will allow us to use its facilities and serves Bombardier, so that's probably the best place to meet after you've pitched your tent and before we stroll into town. The local cab compnay boss lives next door to the campsite so getting cabs back from town (it's a huge 1.5mile walk!) won't be a problem.

Can I kindly let everyone know that this ride out / camp weekend is in aid of a very good charity. Those wishing to attend will be required to make a payment / donation to the charity in advance. The details are still being sorted but thought I would just let you all know.
If you go to this link you will understand about the charity and it involves the son of one of our members on CMC and on here.
You may know his avatar as either Avonne or Mitch.
Here's his website
http://www.justgivin...itchSarahParis/
Hope you all understand and if anyone has ever met Mitch you will agree he is one of the
I hope this does not make people not turn up but make a few extra come along and support one of our guys.
Thanks

As I only live a couple of miles away I'll probably bring the trailer tent (it's hooj) but If y'all fancy it I can also bring the big BBQ from home and we can have a cook out after the ride on Saturday.
