Oh dear....you're the first drop out from the "expressions of interest". However, I really hope you can come along anyway for Scampi and chips, a few beers and that nice Karden House breakfast.
Llandudno wouldn't be the same without you

Oh FFS. First Crackle, the Rich P and now you. It must be Skolly's fault.
A troublesome rotator cuff's no fun at all: good luck with the surgery. And hope you make it to Llandudno: we'll need someone, and their famous laugh, to brighten the pub up...

Rotator cuff injuries are common in spin bowlers.
Is this another pastime we don't know about @wanda2010 ? Are you the next Shane Warne?

Are there any challenges this year, following on from the original sausage and hill climbing challenges

The challenge is for riders to actually follow the entire route correctly and not get lost, shorten the route, divert off etc etc like most did last year
Given we have a few changes to the route let's see how we get on
No sausage challenge this year, at least not officially

My challenges will be to get to the start, then cycle 100 miles. 
Nah. This is wear and tear over the years leading to the actual tear nearly two Llandudno rides ago. I'm not great at looking after myself so months of pain convinced me to see the GP leading to the diagnosis. One year on the NHS waiting list and strong words from my work colleagues reminded me I'm paying for unused private medical cover. So here we are. Was trying to hold out til after the Blackpool ride (cos I love Manchester rides), but those strong words plus a chat with surgeon about the ageing process and recovery time convinced to get cracking.
Look after your body folks.
Painkillers or alcohol......... I'll have a chat with the surgeon. He's not a cyclist so he might frown on my idea, although he's pleased I'm not inactive.

"Got Lost" is a very strong phrase , i prefer path finder technique
I think part of the problem was people taking a holistic approach to navigation and just picking someone at random. The problem being that when a critical mass of the ride is using the same strategy....

A bad bit is that climb out of Radcliffe to the A56. Or you can do what I do and go round the back of Asda through Drinki Park to Littleton Road. Then flat or downhill to Piccadilly.My challenges will be to get to the start, then cycle 100 miles.
