Manchester - Llandudno Saturday 12 May 2018

Yeh but, that other place is an out'n'out eatery isn't it? I can get a pint in while I am waiting, to get warmed up as it were.....

Yes you can. It wouldn't be a problem. It's v. casual

Quick heads up that my train will get into Piccadilly Saturday morning about 0740. We congregate in usual place outside the front entrance

There is a Gregg's there that does good bacon buttiies and coffee

Leave 8am sharp. If you're delayed post on the thread

I'm planning to come along for the "pre-ride" as well.
I'll probably go to Port Street and then on to Bundobust (never been) but I shan't stay beyond there because up at 04.00 tomorrrow.
The thought of leaving a Ti bike in town where I can't see it is a bit of a worry but I'd rather that got nicked than my Dirty Disco despite the cost difference.
I'll be bringing lots of locks.....

I may have mentioned this earlier but I'm determined to get fish and chips before I head off to Llandudno Junction for the 19.51 back to MCR on Saturday.

I only manage to get to the chippy before it closes, cos I get the train after the lunch stop . I have no shame. The chips are worth it.

Yo
Tony and I are still planning to attend. So I’m going to swing by Streford, collect him and head to the Paint Centre. We’re planning to arrive by 8:30am ish.

We’ve got Airbnb booked so if bikes and riders both make it (both have been iffy recently for me) we’re staying over. Still undecided how we’re making it back.

I meet Mossy last night and I can confirm his drinking arm is in perfect working order for tonight, unfortunately I’ll not witness this 2 nights on the bounce.

See you on Saturday...hopefully

Having already improved the weather outlook by moaning about how bad conditions were going to be, I thought I would add one final comment to nudge temperatures even higher ...

Here you go: It looks like it might still be a bit chilly so I will be wearing my armwarmers all day. I will also be wearing a warm long-sleeved base layer which I just found at the bottom of one of my drawers. (I had forgotten buying it.)

When you see me stopping at the roadside to peel off my unnecessary sweat-soaked garments, you will know that the cunning plan has succeeded!

On the first train....

The Colwyn Bay Prom thing is on again this year but Nickyboy's routes do have the diversion in. Last time it was all packed up when we got there (headwind; I know, who'd a thought) and I think the prom is still closed at the Colwyn Bay pier as the demolition is still happening. Rhyl Suncentre is also being demolished but I don't think it affects anything, Rhyl jokes excepted, obs.

On the train to Piccadilly. As is the bike, so that turned out all right. Phew...

Strangely enough I'm on the 1420 too, heading home a bit earlier than expected. If you see someone lugging a big hardshell suitcase and a rucksack, that's me

I stopped overnight in New Mills last night after an unexpected train cancellation meant I spent a pleasant hour at an art and photography exhibition in Stockport War Memorial and the rather grandiose town hall.

See you at 6 Mossy.

And if you see someone with an extremely nice titanium bike, that's me!

See you at 6 Mossy.

"grandiose" is a bit rich from someone living a stone's throw from the Brighton Pacilion

 

[DiddlyDodds]

See ya all in the morning bright and early.

 

[I like Skol]

Both my domestiques have dropped out . See you at Dulux.

Just can't get reliable staff these days!

Change of plan for me. I have been informed my services are no longer required so can leave earlier and dine in Manchester with my weirdo internet buddies. (her words, not mine!)

I am going to try and make it to Bundobust in time to dine....... Sorry Mossy
