Hello Yogi,
Thanks for your interst. I'm working out a route for us, probably setting off together from Chepstow racecourse, with a route through minor roads (Cider Boy's suggestion) up to Abergavenny and then around the Black Mountains with a possible stop off at Langorse Lake. Finishing with a pub lunch around Crickhowell, but I'm waiting to see what preferences people have, as I don't know the area intimately, any suggestions, ?

We live just around the corner!
One thing to point out though is that it's Chepstow Market on Sundays which is held at the racecourse, so it may not be possible to meet there due to wardens directing the traffic.
Thing is, if you time it wrong you'll be caught in all the Market traffic which can sometimes queue back down the slipway of the M48 and all the way up to the racecourse!
Would it be worth trying to meet somewhere else?

Thanks Alex, what do you think about meeting in the carpark of the Indian Empire/Garden Centre at Parkwall, on the A48 just the other side of Saint Pieire form Chepstow?
Easy to find, too!

Arghhh! I've just been "reminded" that we are away in St Albans on the 20/21st for a friends wedding.
Sorry all, but I am not going to be able to make it!

3 days from arranging to pulling out of your own meet 
BMW Girl - I presume you're a partner of someone further up the list? or are you just a disillusioned Z4 owner looking for a test drive?
