It is, and it isn't. Unfortunately, it'll be a bit longer and much harder work than Stereotypical Film Training Montage.

So I 've finally got my act together. I've posted the route files in Post #1. Same as last year, tbh I can't think of a reason to change it. This means the usual 8am start ex Piccadilly, coffee etc at Weaverham, big stoke up at Eureka cyclist cafe, brief stop at Bike Hub Rhyl (assuming you get there before they close at 5) and then fish and chips in Llandudno
Timings are, to some extent, weather dependent. However, it usually works out as follows:
Piccadilly 0800
Weaverham 1030
Eureka 1315
Bike Hub 1630
Llandudno 1815
As always, we stick together as a large group until at least Weaverham, please no shooting off up the road by faster riders, keep an eye on more sedate riders. After Weaverham we tend to break up into smaller groups. From Eureka it really depends on when you want to leave and with whom.
Despite the tribulations with return trains, we still have about 24 potential riders which, with the inevitable late drop outs, gives us a nice number

@wanda2010 I can only do the ride to Eureka this year so need to get a train back to Macclesfield. Which station do you cycle to for your train to Llandudno?

You and I can sing songs so we don't feel too abandoned
I sang "I can see clearly now the rain has gone" on the first one. The language of my fellow cyclists made me blush

Shotton is closest but maybe Chester (which is only slightly further) has more options?
