A mixed forecast still saw a good turnout of local scooters at clubbies for the late start of 11.45 .Liverpool S.C. and cloud 9 turned up in strength to join us for the run on the old Wrexham road to the Walnut Tree pub for the start .We were a great dissapointment to one copper in Lavister on his radar trap ,thanks mainly to all the cars coming out of the village flashing us ! Ride out started off well at 1pm but as we climbed away from Wrexham towards the hills we caught the bad weather everyone arriving at the Ponderosa in the wet .Some turned back for home after a brief stop ,including Billy after having to replace a broken clutch cable with the help of a mate and Gavin ,not pleasant in the rain !More rain on the way down the pass saw Bernie switching to reserve and a tense few miles finally getting fuel on the Wrexham by-pass.All the small filling stations have now closed on the Llangollen road .Back at Wrexham the roads were dry and the do was in full swing back at the Walnut Tree with our very own Gary Clarke winning "Best Lambretta "at the do ,well done Gaz !It was all over by 4.30,a good day out had by most of us despite the weather ! Thanks to lads and lasses of Wrexham scooter club for their efforts in putting on the 10th Llangollen rideout

Cheers for the pictures Dave and a huge thanks to those who helped me when my clutch cable went. Didn't stop in Wrexham (or Llangollen) on the way back sorry as wanted to get home due to being soaked to the skin and the cable needing some adjustments.
