i'm headed to western wales to study abroad for the semester, and i was wondering if any of the UK guys on here had any suggestions on good tarmac or anything of the sort. i'll hopefully be able to borrow a TT when i get there (fingers crossed) :-D also, any of you UK guys going to the BSB races at donington or brands hatch? i'm planning on attending both.

Wales is brilliant
the north has tourists and way too many speed cameras but the south and centre!! :-D :-D :-D

Almost any 3 figure A road (e.g A111 or A222) will give you 100->30->110->20 cross country riding with loads of complex turns. I won't suggest any realnumbers as apparently local police have been surfing the web to see where to put their 'orrible cameras.

I just turn down any interesting road & then do it again, keep doing the same using the sun as a compass (or if no sun the direction of the rain after all it is wales) until I have 25mile of petrol left then find a town & repeat.


On the busier straighter roads be a bit careful of the boy-racers on full on 2006 sports bikes. You can reckognise them as they have to overtake you across whitelines & with zero visibility to prove their manhood! I understand the welsh name for them is Knobbheddds.


Have a brilliant time! Jon
