Kestevans Llandudno 2020 ride. May 2nd - CANCELLED !

[Kestevan]

No problem, an opportunity for the inaugural annual Llandudno to Manchester bike ride on May 3rd....

Did both ways last year. Given that since December I've only managed a couple of laps of the velodrome I'm going to pass on doing both ways.

I'm not sure that many people on here know about Wanderers/PostDoc Helen but you'll get respect for having done Manchester-BPool FNRttC 2019 !
If I were you, I'd look at riding back to Chester and getting the train from there. That's my plan; you're welcome to join me, I shan't be going fast.

Following day. I don't want to miss out on the festivities.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood.
Let me know if you want help with booking trains and bikes.

Given today's announcements I suspect that this ride may encounter some difficulties.

I'm loath to act too early and pull the plug on this one, but conversely I don't want people to be buying tickets/booking accommodation for a ride that's looking rather less likely to go ahead.. My gut feeling is that it's unlikely to go ahead in the current circumstances.

What's people's thoughts on this.?

Ouch! Hard call to make but just under 7 weeks to go so realistically control measures likely to be in full swing by then.
@nickyboy, me & co will have an equally difficult decision to make about our Lejog effort later in May

We're doing it @I like Skol , even if we have to take 10 days worth of butties to keep us going

Take a tent or three.

Nice one Nick. That would be my attitude too. Just accommodation provision that may be tricky but I'm sure we will find a way.

I may have to pull out of this for unrelated reasons - I managed to fracture my collarbone on Thursday - but it may be sensible to keep the ride pencilled in tentatively though in case things improve.

I'm not on this ride, but was considering @ColinJ's latest one.

I've no problem doing the ride, sorting food, interacting appropriately with the others, and so on.

The problem I have is that I am car assisted.

My car journey to and from the start point can hardly be described as essential.

I shall keep the matter under review, but my thinking is doing any ride at the moment would not be right if it involves a car journey.
