hi - anyone out there do the short route round Ruthin today. Great route but the distance seemed considerably shorter than the 45 miles posted. Or is my gps playing up...or did I take a few wrong turns

No, I did Mills Hills and did see a MTB event going on. Can't remember where exactly that was though......... Actually yes I do - it was near Ruthin! So was it MTBers then, and was there a checkpoint for it in the car park near the Texaco car park?
EDIT - Duh! Just noticed when you posted - yesterday! So I'm moidering, just ignore me.

cheere for the reply - it was a road bike event and started and finished at Ruthin Rugby Club. The o/s map thay gave out said 45 mile but I only clocked just short of 40. Never mind it was a great ride I think there was a mtb event around there on Sunday organised by the same people.

Yes the mtb event was on Sunday which happened to be on part of the route I was out on. I believe over a thousand took part. Merida Ruthin mountain bike event.

Yes I did the "45" mile sportive at Ruthin on Saturday, also advertised with 1200 metres of climbing. They must have small tape measures out there - the GPS said 38.9 miles and 685 metres of up and down. Still it was a nice morning's leg stretch. (And apologies from my cycling buddy to the Chester Tri lads for that embarrassing episode at the lights in Denbigh after they'd kindly pulled us along in their speedy wake!)
