Manchester - Llandudno Saturday 18 May 2019

[Kestevan]

What about you, though.....?

Yeah first sniff of a headwind and I'll happily abandon all my macho bullshit and pay for a ride home..

If you look at post#1 it gives you a "live" review of who has confirmed they're riding, who isn't coming and who hasn't replied yet

Proposed location for Friday evening beers, eats...

seven bro7hers beer house

Nice place, about 10-15 minutes walk from Piccadilly station. Good food, nice beers. Not up it's own arse unlike a lot of Northern Quarter establishments. Does a "burger and a beer" special for £10

All welcome, whether you're doing the ride or not

Hi Nicky.
Tom and myself will join again this year - Brian is unlikely. We will meet at Dulux as usual. Booked accommodation in Llandudno, train back to Manchester Sunday

Yo Nick…sorry for the slow reply just seeing what my workable options where. Unfortunately I can’t make the full ride. So I’m planning to meet at Altrincham go as far as Weaverham then return home.

If anybody coming on the ride would like a free case for their iPhone X, the first person to ask gets it. Let me know below and I will bring it with me on Saturday...

(Don't be a cheapskate and grab it to sell on! It is for your use (or that of someone close to you).)

Early weather forecasts looking good....

Do they stock anything non-alcoholic? Nothing listed on their website.

Suspiciously good - the Met Office reckon that Chester will average 10 degrees C above what they think it will be here. It is less than 50 miles away.

 

[ColinJ]

Scrub that - it was Chester, USA!

Yes, all the usual soft drinks that you would imagine

 

[I like Skol]

Just told Mrs Skol that I am likely to be in Manchester with you lot on Friday evening and she complained that 'Your ride isn't until Saturday!'

I explained that we have some important details that need to be finalised before we set off...…



EDIT: What time Nick?

I guess it depends somewhat on when those from far flung lands plan to arrive @StuAff @theclaud

7.30pm ??

I was in that bar on Saturday and it was packed so hope we can find a table

I'm booked on the same service as last year (departs Euston 1420, arrives 1627), and in the same hotel, so no problems for me.

 

[nickyboy]

The following have "expressed interest" in the ride but haven't replied to the PM I sent out last week.

Please note, you can't just turn up for the ride. I need a reply to the PM

Don't wait for me for dinner - I'm working Friday so won't arrive til after 9, when I will be Ready for a Beer. Do you know what time they stop serving food?
