Welsh Ride Thing

Welsh Wind Farm

May saw us back in Wales for the Welsh Ride Thing, it’s a fabulous event that I hate to miss and although I had a trip to France the following weekend arranged I got a severe case of FOMO and decided I had to go. It’s always nice to catch up with friends who I haven’t seen for a bit and ride bicycles, hopefully in the sun!

This year we had a first timer, Chris, a regular rider with us. We’d decided to keep a small group but the Barry and Elaine asked if they could join us too and we had a great weekend, hitting some bothies and cafes too.
