I might be tempted to ride to the Eureka Cafe on Saturday, then back along Frodsham Marshes. It's not a long ride from Warrington, I rode it a few weeks ago.

7.00-7.30 sounds suitable for me. Can't have a late night because I am sure to be awake too early on Saturday morning with all the excitement....
Jnr won't be doing the ride now
He just isn't physically ready, as a result of not being mentally prepared. His head and heart weren't in it so he didn't do the minimum training rides I wanted from him just to make sure he had a basic ability level, kept making excuses and saying perhaps do it next year. Shame, as I really wanted him to do this, it would be a hell of an achievement for a 13yr old. Just couldn't risk bringing him out knowing there was a chance he would struggle badly. He's just a child and I couldn't force him to do it. I did explain it won't be magically easier next time, he still has to want to do it and make the small effort it would take.
I'm probably going to be running something along those lines for Mrs C as she likes to know where I am. I've been using Garmin LiveTrack - so I will probably create a link and use that instead of Glympse as it means I don't have to run GPS on my phone which is better for battery life.

Hello Nick,
Sorry for not responding to PM. I've been monitoring the thread and wanted to see how I felt at the start of the week before committing.
I got back from a foreign trip a week ago and came down with a bug. Think I'm over the worst of it now.
Train tickets bought.

Just a quick question from me: can I assume that some of you will start arriving at the Bike Hut in Rhyl at about 4pm? I don't want to get there too early.

In the past we have got to Bike Hub about 4.30. However the wind direction looks very favourable this time (fingers crossed) so I think your estimate of 4.00 sounds about right
@si_c is operating a Garmin-based tracking system on the day, maybe he can advise how you could follow our progress?

Am I too late to ask if I can join you for the first part of your ride again, and leave you all at Weaverham?

So based on replies we have 22 participants (including me and my mate Wayne) of which 14 will be doing the full ride. I think 10 stopping over in Llandudno plus Mrs N plus junior
Is Tapps ok for Saturday evening in Llandudno? It's where we went last year and seemed ok to me

Would note for anyone who doesn't get to Fish Tram Chips in time that Tapps doesn't do food. The Albert over the road does excellent nosh though.

Don't drink too much on Friday - we know how messy it got on the MTB weekend (skolly !)

Skolly doesn't strike me as the sort of person to make such an alcohol related mistake again so soon...
