Good luck next week all. I'm not in Wales next weekend. It was blowing a gale last night, but it's nice and calm this morning, if overcast.

FINAL RIDE NOTES

I'll also stick them in post#1

You MUST read these as they contain important safety information. I will PM everyone on the "Expressions of Interest" list in a few days to confirm

a) If you're riding
b) Where you're planning on riding from/to
c) You've read the ride notes
d) You accept the terms of the ride ie. I am just organiser and you accept personal responsibility for your ride

Please don't confirm the above on here as it will clog up the thread. I will PM you

Great information Nicky.

I know Eureka cafe only used to take cash. Does anyone know if it is still the same or have they joined the 21st Century?

One thing I didn't put in the ride notes.....

If you take the hillier option there is one descent where you need to be particularly careful into the village of Llanasa

In itself it's not a big deal. It's steep but not crazily so. The problem is that the bend at the bottom looks straightforward but it tightens up as you enter it. I found myself scrubbing off speed to make sure I didn't end up on the wrong side of the road. There are plenty of warning signs

Here it is

Nope cash only. There is a cash point outside the bakery in weaverham.

That's what it looks like now but once Mossy, Nicky and the rest of the gang arrive it will soon begin to resemble this......

Littgull and I are booked on the 19:42 from Llandudno. That is a direct train to Manchester so the 4 mile ride to Llandudno Junction mentioned in the ride notes will not be necessary for us.

Testing the water for a quick drinky on Friday after work/evening

I'm relaxed either way but happy to meet up if any participants fancy it. Howsabout 57 Thomas Street which has a very good beer range and is only about 5 minutes walk from Piccadilly station?

Would anyone on the ride like to take the Cycle Chat jersey from me that I got from Nick last year? I could ride as far as High Legh before I would sadly have to turn back?
