Manchester - Llandudno Saturday 18 May 2019

Make sure you turn off the auto navigate/recalculate route option on the garmin... It can cause some "odd" results if you slightly miss a control point

One thing at once,I'll probably get it on there by say mid afternoon Wednesday !
Thanks I'll give it a go

 

[Freds Dad]

Have a great ride everyone. Sorry I can't be with you but my dodgy knee along with a second blood transfusion last week means that cycling is currently a no go.

 

[DiddlyDodds]

Its getting close now and i am starting to get giddy with excitement (slight exaggeration), i got the bike out last week and it does work so no worries there, not sure if its the riding or eating all day i am most looking forward to, either way both will be extensive , so bring it on.
I've actually put the route in my oh so reliable Garmin this time as the new route deters the art of winging it.

So we are a couple of weeks away from the ride so some housekeeping...

The ride is a social ride and anyone taking part agrees that they do so at their own risk. The organiser can in no way be held liable for any incidents that may occur during the ride.

I will PM each person who has expressed interest in the ride to (a) get confirmation that they are coming (b) that they agree with the above

Just a reminder, Nick. While I'm at it, I might as well just say, yes and yes.

While I think of it....Friday night drinks & food, anyone? (Let's not bother with Bundobust.....).

If you are going in by train we will probably be catching the same one - 06:55 Todmorden, 07:02 Littleborough, 07:25 Manchester Victoria?

Yes if we can get a few folk out. I'll sort somewhere decent that isn't far from the station. Leave it with me

No reminder necessary. I will leave it until weekend to PM everyone on the "expressions of interest"

Whilst I don't want to be an arse about these things, if someone doesn't confirm that they are ok with it being "a social ride and everyone is responsible for their own safety" then they can't participate. I have precious few requirements for the ride but that's one of them

 

[I like Skol]

Wind situation still looking promising at the moment

Lay off the sprouts and all will be well.

Might be up for a swift half if its reasonably early. Depends on what time I hit Manchester on my ride back from Llandudno after dropping off the car.

My money's on you bailing by about Chester and training it back to Manchester if the wind forecast is anything like right

Pffft, the wind direction changes a good 180 degrees as the tide changes. Don't speak too soon..

Ive just checked the price of a train ticket between Chester and Manchester... It would have to be blowing a chuffing gale to make any self respecting Yorkshireman spend that much...
