We have just returned from our three day Figure 8 Tour of Wales. Staying at the superb Biker Friendly Moto BnB, pictured here.
Hosts Rik & Fab have done a fantastic job of restoring this 200 year old farmhouse which is situated on the A470 at Llangurig in the heart of Wales.
Our trip, which started at Caerphilly Mountain took in New Quay on the West Coast, and Aberystwyth. The busy seaside Town of Barmouth, travelling through Corwen the home of Owain Glyndwr and on to Llangollen and the Horseshoe Pass.
Also riding the highest road in Wales near Dinas Mawddwy before dropping down to the picturesque Bala Lake.
We did it all in just three days.
We will definitely be doing this tour again so watch out for up dates here or on our Newsletter Blog.
A big thanks to all who came along and a special thanks to Rik & Fab for the exceptional hospitality we received. From: http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/195837770466074

Here is Chris, Steph & Billy enjoying their CBT in Cardiff today. Billy has a little experience from his youth but Chris & Steph were first timers.
All worked really hard in the scorching conditions today, which can be just as challenging as the cold and rain.
We made it out on road and made it to MacDonald’s so all was fine!
Well done to them. From: http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/195837770466074
