Friday - Sunday 11-13th July: Porlock Weekend Ride...
A social weekend on the lines of the event held in Porlock last year. The main activity being the BBQ at Roger Hall’s place . The itinerary for the weekend includes a 20 mile cycle ride on the Saturday, followed by a BBQ at Roger and Di’s in the evening. Next morning, Sunday, there will be a six mile walk-led by Roger.
Some key points
Accommodation: please refer to Roger’s note below and organise your own digs. As the cycle ride will start at 10.00hrs on the Saturday I suggest you book accommodation for Friday and Saturday nights
Ride-after last year’s main ride Nigel Williams has kindly come up with a route that is likely to be a fair bit easier than last year’s adventure! It will be twenty miles long and should be a comfortable ride for all.
For those who want something a little more challenging they can take on or adapt last year’s main route.
Both rides will be put on the Spokes website via Getamap when I know details of those going on the weekend.
If anyone fancies a walk on Saturday please contact Roger who holds copies of local routes
*
BBQ-please again refer to Roger’s note. The BBQ will start, at Roger’s home at 18.00 hrs.
If you intend going to the Porlock weekend please Email me direct and let me know if you intend:-
1. riding on the Saturday OS map link
2. coming to the BBQ at Roger’s on Saturday night-please let me know if you are bringing guests
3. going on Rogers walk

Hi lovely Spokes people,
Hope you have been enjoying the super sunshine summer so far and have managed to put your trusty steeds through their paces. The Bishops castle weekender over August bank holiday is getting near so thought I would jog your memories.
It would be just lovely to have you come along and cycle through one of the best hidden cycling places in Wales with us. I did think too it would be just perfect for those preparing for the Alsace tour as it includes distance and some hills. The two routes I am planning to take you around are just super dooper stunning, I did them last year at the same time. Small lanes, hardly any cars, bit of a pull in places but really lovely flowing rides, road bikes would be best but any bike will do. There are some great stops for lunch and tea/buns.
It is getting pretty busy for booking accommodation around there so if you want to come I suggest you get active right now. There are suggested B&Bs, hotels and campsites here http://www.bishopscastle.co.uk/tourism/accommodation.htm. I ideally need to know how many people are coming as I need to book us in for somewhere to eat on the Saturday night so if you could let me know that would be fab!
The basic itinerary is as follows:
- Arrive Friday 22nd August, meet in a pub in central Bishops castle eat (maybe?), drink and be merry, doing bank holiday sun dance, grass skirt optional
- Cycle Saturday 23rd August, meet 9:30am - 60 mile ride
Eat together Saturday evening 23rd August - venue TBA
- Cycle Sunday 24th August, meet 9:30am - 60 mile ride
I am not planning anything for bank holiday Monday and will be going back home to Builth with John on Sunday evening.
I will be doing the rides the weekend before again to make sure all is well and finding somewhere for us for Saturday evening. Any queries don't hesitate to get in touch.
Cheers,
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"

Ride Leader/Contact: Martin Pingel
This weekender will be based at West Bay, Dorset which is a couple of miles south of Bridport on the Jurassic coast.
West Bay is a drive of approximately 2½ hrs from Cardiff so is relatively easy to get to.
There will be a ride of approximately 35 miles on the Saturday and the same on the Sunday.
We will meet up at The George Hotel on Friday night for a meal which I'll book for 7.30pm so let me know if you would like a place ASAP.
ACCOMMODATION:
Within walking distance (200m) this Parkdean Holiday Park is ideally situated
West Bay Holiday Park link below:
If 6 of you book an 8 berth static caravan (which has a double and to twin rooms) then this becomes quite a cheap option.
You can get a static caravan for around £160-£180.00 and whilst you have to book it for Friday, Saturday and Sunday night you obviously you don't have to stay the Sunday night unless you want to. Alternatively, if you've got a caravan or camper van then you can book in to the touring section.
Or if you want B&B, hotel accommodation then check out these site but make sure you get somewhere in West Bay and not Bridport. Also make sure your accommodation has parking otherwise you'll have to pay to leave you car in West Bay.
