Long hold of brakes to build lots of heat on descent. I know it's probably not the done thing but on cars the back of the pads are fitted with a smear of copper grease, to STOP squeal!

I have checked and it seems not but have put out feelers to see how affected other roads, especially Portet

I suppose I better get a couple of leg turners in this week.

There are a couple of greasy spoon type cafes in cross hands that open at 7am on Sunday, a bacon roll sounds like a good start to the day!

Those staying over Saturday night, there are a few places to eat near by, i'm not a fan of curry the night before a ride, so would prefer to stick to pub grub type stuff:
The kings head inn (no website)
http://www.thesmithsarms.co.uk/
a Couple of fish a chip places

I'll have my car so can drive up to 5 people (4 in a bit of comfort).

Unless there are true nutters amongst us, I imagine we’ll all have cars, but I’ll get a lift, so I can get absolutely hammered!
Might be worth booking a table.
Can I get a role call please? Who wants a place booked for a pub grub?

I don't drink which is why I offered to drive. I'm in for pub grub.

If you honestly think I’m going to get leathered the night before the DD.....

You never know, it could full the pain on the day

Might be worth putting this on the whatsapp group? I won't be there Saturday night for pub grub but I will probably be up for the bacon roll on Sunday morning depending on how much grub I've already managed to stuff inside me on my early morning drive down there!

I don’t know why but I thought it was the following weekend.
