World's Largest Female Biker Meet - 2022
So I popped by Triumph Factory for the world's largest female biker meet. Final head count was 1549. The weather was nice and the meet was central in the country, it would be hard to beat in the future.

I took a test before going to bed, it has one of those impression on the T. I had problem falling asleep, so I went to sleep on the sofa.
I went back to my bed in the morning to sleep some more.
Later in the morning, I took another test, the T line has disappeared.

Wales Grand Tour - Day 9
We have planned to hire a bike to cycle up the Elan Valley, the weather turned out perfect for cycling, slight overcast and not too hot. We told the landlord we were cycling up the valley, he was not convinced it was a good idea.
We picked up some off cut ham at the butcher, they are also not convinced it was a good idea.
Just in case the weather wasn't perfect, we hasn't prebooked. And instead of cycling from the visitor centre, we managed to hire bikes from a bike shop in town, which is cheaper. He was surprised to see walk-in customers. Even the cycle shop owner was not convinced of Sarah's stamina. I have initially suggested to hire one bike, one e-bike, which was vetoed.
The Elan Valley Trail meant to end at Craig Goch Dam, but I insisted us going all the way to Ar Elan Bridge, Afon Elan turns out to be very nice. We cycled down against strong valley breeze! When we stopped at the visitor centre, I had 2 sugars in my tea to give me the last push. Apparently Shelley was there.
We got back in town before 4pm, and Sarah went on a shopping spree, bought a few things from the craft shop, and the shopkeeper told us about The Wool and Willow Festival in Llanidloes, which was kind of en-route anyway, so that's added to the itinerary.
We checked on the map, we did 25 miles, no wondered we were knackered. We mustered the last bit of energy and got some Chinese takeaway for dinner, we could not face the prospect of a greasy dinner from a busy pub. The food was fine, but apparently half the town dislike the Chinese takeaway. I have had much worst Chinese takeaway before.

Wales Grand Tour - Day 6
Pembroke Castle was not Cadw, supposed birth place of Henry VII, so we looked at it "English Heritage" style. The Pembroke Museum was a saviour in a rainy day. Followed by coffee morning at St Mary's Church, when Sarah got a home made Welsh cake, which one was quite spicy.
Lamphey Bishops Palace has a very big foot print, but it was not much left, so it was hard to image what was there.
We finally parked up at Tenby, the rain has driven most tourists away, but still doesn't stop the caravan parking in the middle of the road and enjoying the view and blocking other road users.
We walked across the beach to the harbour and found the freshest lobster roll in Wales.
