Ok, thanks for the great response so far.

I'm thinking in terms of a totally informal gathering and I don't want to clash with any other events. In the first instance, so that outings are available to all riders, stick to the black stuff. I have a catalogue of stunning roads in my head. One or two days is fine by me. I know many of the trails in and around mid Wales but some of these require fairly accomplished off road skills. I want to be sure that everyone has an enjoyable experience and off road can be pretty hard going, especially when things go wrong.

If we were looking at two days I'd look at putting a route together In and around Snowdonia Nat Park, around 200 miles. Second day, head for Mid Wales Including the Elan Valley and and some coast road. Probably around the same distance.

I'd suggest being based around the Welshpool area.

If you don't like the sound of any of this I'm happy to look at alternative ideas.
