- You want hills? We got hills
So who's up for an all day 100 mile ride to the seaside?
Now into it's 4th year.....
Offering a fast escape from Manchester, pleasant Cheshire country lanes, rickety bridges over the River Dee, seafront perambulations, top drawer elevenses, lunch and fish and chips for w'tea. Overnighter with modest beer consumption available too
I will post up all the usual route and ride notes info when I've got a minute. I can't think of a good reason to change last year's route; offering the flat 99.7 miles (you need to ride around a car park or two to get the century) or about 103 for the hilly
Steady pace, we all stick together for the first 30-40 miles. Then slowly we disintegrate into small groups and ride at whatever pace suits with whatever stops suits all the way to Llandudno
No problem if folk want to only do part of the ride. There will be the usual official stops at Weaverham, Eureka, Rhyl Bike Hub, so welcome to start/finish at those as you see fit
"Expressions of Interest" only at this stage. Firm up numbers much closer to the ride date.
No insurance required. Wear whatever clothing, headgear you like. All I stipulate is a decent bike and a means to navigate
Route and timings
Leave Manchester Piccadilly railway station at 0800. I'll post the proper route files but it meanders through Cheshire with a stop at about 1030 in Weaverham for coffee, bacon butties etc. Onto the Wirral to the famous Eureka cyclists café for a hearty lunch. After that its West to Llandudno with a flatter or hiller option on the stretch from Flint to Prestatyn. After that, we literally hug the coast all the way to Llandudno. Arrival time is weather dependent but has been around 1800-1830 for most participants in prior years. Excellent fish and chips at the finish point
