WHAM Easter Sunday Run. Starting at 09:30 from the Little Chef at Wooferton near Ludlow, the ride takes in The Shropshire Hills through the Vale of Kerry, some of the best roads in Mid Wales and the spectacular Elan Valley. |
| WHAM Day Out – Welsh Railways. Starting at the OK Diner in Leominster (please fill your fuel tank here), this route winds its way through the familiar Shropshire Hills to the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway cafe for our first coffee stop.We then skirt Lake Vyrnwy and Bala riding some of North Wales’ best roads through Snowdonia (watch your speed!) to the Tan-y-Bwlch Café on the Porthmadoc to Blaenau Ffestiniog Railway.
The ride back follows a similar route to the ride out (it seems totally different this way round..!) until we get to Penybontfawr where we head for Welshpool and the Old Wheelwrights Cafe (no railway connection here I’m afraid, just a decent cup of tea) for our final stop of the day. From Leominster to the last stop is a total of 197 miles so its a full day out. If you cant make it for the whole day then you are very welcome to join us for just part of the route.

| WHAM Day Ride – Roof of Wales.
Starts at the OK Diner in Leominster, meet at 08:30 to organise riding groups for a 09:00 start. We’ve made some changes to this year’s ROW ride so that we arrive at the break stops at a better time to avoid the queues. The new (shorter) route gets us to the interesting roads more quickly too. Starting from Leominster, we head to the Trout Inn in Beulah for a petrol stop (grab a quick bottle of water from the garage) via the Sennybridge ranges. We then do the Devils Staircase and Lynn Brianne loop to our lunch stop at the Owls Nest in Llandovery. The route then takes us over the military ranges to Tirabad, finishing at Crossgates for a coffee then head home. Download routes:

Leg 2 Follows the brilliant B road around Clywedoc Reservoir up to the A470. We turn right at Dinas Mawddy and head up into the hills around the West side of Lake Vyrnwy, The roads and scenery up here are some of the best in Wales.

Leg 3 winds it way through the borders to some more familiar roads ending up at the Teapot Cafe at Mortimers Cross. (54 Miles). NOTE: We need to try to avoid taking over the carpark at the OK Diner so please park considerately in one area. We are also potentially putting off Customers so please purchase a coffee from the Diner when you arrive so that they get some revenue for the inconvenience (please don’t buy your coffee from the petrol station). Thanks. Download Route:

| WHAM Dayout – Rutland TT.
Used by the Journalists from most of the UK’s motorcycling press as a road test route, the Rutland TT offers WHAM Members something a little different to our usual days out in Wales. Leg 1: Starting at Mc Donalds Wychbold (just off the M5 Junction 5) we make our way on a good mix of roads to the first staging post on the Rutland TT, McDonalds Market Harborough. Leg 2: This leg takes us around Rutland Water then North, bypassing Grantham to the lunch stop at Syston Park Farm Shop. Leg 3: Returns to the West of Rutland Water to McDonalds at Market Harborough for a coffee before the long trek home. This will be a fairly long day out, especially for those travelling from the Hereford area so I’ve left it up to you how you get home, I expect most of you will punch your home address in the satnav and use the fast roads. All of the above is, as usual optional. If you wish to make your own way to the start of leg 2 our ETA is approximately 10:45. All full Members and their Pillions very welcome. Please arrive at the start point with a full tank of fuel. Download Routes:
