Will anyone be broadcasting live position using Glympse or similar? I'll be forming the advance reconnaissance party as per and it'll be nice if I know where you are so that I can get my fat arse out of the pub form the official welcoming committee at the tram-stop / chippy.

PM me if you prefer not to make your Glympse hashtags public.
I'm not, if that helps. I don't even know what you're talking about.

Is anyone kindly doing the bike baggage thingy this year?
Give your luggage to me Rich, I'll take care of it..... :whistle:

Who is going for the Friday night drinkies? I am trying to convince Mrs Skol that I am safe to venture into the city by tram for a couple of hours but she seems to be worried that someone might mug the old cripple! I told her it should be safe because I don't think @rich p is going for the pre-ride drinks........

In my case, fast touring bike is also easiest to clean bike- that Ti gets shiny again with little effort. All the weather forecasts I've checked (Met Office, Beeb, Norwegians) looking pretty good....

Since the weather looks shite I think I will bring my clarty old pub bike instead of the shiny one. That way I can go straight to the pub without worrying overmuch about the bike. If it's a freezing westerly and pissing with rain on Saturday I'm going to bail at Shotton with @wanda2010 and fast-forward to scampi, chips and beer.
Eh? What's looking shite about the weather?

Rhyl, from the ever reliable Norwegian weather site. Ok, not cracking the flags but we've had a helluva lot worse

Brucie bonus (especially for you) is a light tailwind will push you through the Gem of the North Wales Seaside all the quicker

Weather forecast presently is looking like near perfect riding conditions, slight westerly breeze with little likelihood of any rain and not too hot, around 15°.
