Was it a Carpe ride out ?
There were lots of TeeDeez traveling between Machynlleth and Dolgellau Sunday 30 Sept around 11.30ish
I was stood in my garden waving if it was any of you.
Hope it was a good day with not too many showers.

Yep, that would have been us. http://dashack.co.uk...c,3529.270.html

Considering it was a CMC run not a Carpe run, the turnout was:
2 Mk1's (myself and TonyDevil)
2 Mk2's (Wicky and Yellowasp)
a 900 (Avonne)
an ZTX with a TDM engine (Readmarx)
a BMW K1200 ridden by a TDM owner (Sidestand)
and a Tiger (bikemadtigerridingRay)

Fantastic weekend, weather was kind to us and Readmarx planned a great route from the campsite in Rhyader up to Barmouth, the Llanberis, and back down through Capel Curig and then down the A470 to the campsite. Didn't spot you waving though, sorry. Must have suprised the silver 900 that passed us when we were parked up at the side of the road for a break.

1992 Mk1, 76k miles, Hagon springs, MTC exhaust, 4½ gears Gone now :(
2009 900 abs, 42k miles, Yamaha heated grips, double bubble screen, R&G crash bungs, scottoiler, Autocom, 1500 lumen LED spotlights.
