Should do it. Plenty of stops along the way so quite an easy century. Especially if the wind is behind us. Like last year.

Ah yes, as @ColinJ mentioned we did discuss the Llandudno ride a few weeks ago. Apologies @nickyboy, I meant to post my intentions a while ago. Definitely very interested. I would prefer the hilly route but ok with the flatter one also. They will both be enjoyable and it will be great to do some cycling alongside the coast for those parts of it. I may ride my Brompton.
Please put me down on the list @nickyboy . If the date moves to either of the May Bank Holiday weekends I would probably be unavailable due to family commitments.

You're on the list...
The date is fixed. That's that. It's May 13.
Regarding routes there is the flatter or hillier versions. It's entirely up to each individual to decide which they prefer. The one thing I would say is that if we are unlucky enough to get a strong headwind on the day, the hillier option is much more exposed than the flatter one (I'm sure last year's participants will remember fondly slogging past the golf course up there). The two routes rejoin around Prestatyn from where it's seaside cycling at its best....sea, sand (mainly on the cyclepath), tacky amusement arcades, static caravan parks and a slight chance of a headwind as we go SW to Llandudno
Brill, thanks for clarifying the date@nickyboy. Yes I agree,definitely the flatter route is much preferred if we get unlucky and have a strong headwind on the day. Looking forward to a good day out. As with @ColinJ we will be getting to the start in Manchester Piccadilly from Littleborough and Todmorden respectively.

No doubt see you on the train again Littgull as per the Scarborough ride last year, see if we can get Colin in the same carriage this time.

Ha ha, well this time I will be getting on the train first so it will be up to you two to find me! (I will sit as close as possible to the bike storage to keep an eye on my bike.)
Will be good to link up with you again @DiddlyDodds. Colin will keep our 'bike watch' seats warm for this intrepid trio!

Good Day All. New member here. Looking forward to joining the ride as one of my targets this year is a 100miler. Done a 75 and regularly do 60's so hopefully I should be ok.
