Riding on paths? Shocking :smile: . The path less trodden/ridden I guess, rather than a, you know, path :wink: .

Spar Wars. Fantastic :-bd . Wonder what weapons they'd use? A Tunnock's thrown with skill can be a pretty lethal projectile admittedly. Same with a Ginster's.

I'm liking the 'religious' angle. Return Of The Jedi/Bikepackers. For some, it is :smile:

Cracking shirt this year indeed :grin: .

Brilliant! I wore my WRT 2020 Apocalypse t-shirt for the first time last night. Gutted I couldn't make it this year...

Thanks again for organising such a fantastic annual event Dee and Stuart.
And the good news is that it's now only 11 months to wait until the WRT 2022.

Pictures to post on the How it went thread later on

Apologies from me again. I could have made it this year too, but for my poor organisational skills :sad:

Great t-shirt! Maybe I'll get one of next years.

My first WRT and a huge thanks to Stuart & Dee. I should say thanks to JC for letting me follow the route and to our group of riders. Lee R, Mike P, Sam W and Alex (who we guided out of Hafren). A good craic with others through the weekend too.
Thanks all for making the bikepacking community a good 'un.

I can second that the vegan chocolate muffins were excellent. Possibly the best vegan cake I've eaten, but I won't be telling Mrs Daz that.

Thanks all for a great weekend. Don't think I've ever done a single ride with such a variety of terrain and countryside. Coming from the Pennines I thought I was used to featureless moorland, but those hills north west of Rhayader are bleak. I'll definitely be back.

Daz.

There was no such variety of terrain in my ride - just up, or down. Nowt in between...
