MCN readers transform North Wales

Thousands of MCN readers descended on North Wales on Sunday, transforming much of the region into one enormous bike festival in one of MCN’s biggest ever campaigns.

Over 10,000 riders are thought to have joined our effort to reclaim the area’s stunning roads from heavy-handed police who every weekend stop 350  motorcyclists who have committed no offence.

Around 5,000 of you went to the Ponderosa Café on the stunning Horseshoe Pass in Llangollen. At least another 3,000 of  you went to the Dragon’s Rest Café near Caerwys, another of our key meeting places.

Finally around 10,000 of you converged at the final meeting point in Betws-y-Coed in Snowdonia National Park , filling the village with bikes.

One MCN reader described the scene as “like the TT, Bol d’ Or and BMF Show rolled into one.”

The day would have been a nightmare for North Wales deputy chief constable Clive Wolfendale, who used his blog to propose banning motorcycles from national parks.
