Manchester - Llandudno 2016 : Saturday April 23...for Harry, England and St George

Go on then....I'm obviously still looking to lose a few pounds before the big day

Fixed that for you.

Having not been on many of the Chat rides putting faces to names is not easy, even to the point of when we got to the Eureka Cafe last year we walked straight past a couple of the lads who where starting there and had out dinner at the other end of the cafe.
We have all seen the names on here countless times but had no idea what each other looked like, unlike Adrian who does actualy look like the wise old elf
So what about a mug shot line up to get some names to faces before the ride

Last years thread has a lot of us in. Pictures start at about page 70

As there's not so many of us starting at the Eureka this year, I shall be keeping a careful eye out for arrivals

I'm still waiting to hear if doughnuts wonderful better half is free for a little more gear to go with her, if not a backpack might be a bit much if you've never done 100 miles before. You're welcome to put some (lightweight!) casual clothes in my panniers if it comes to it.

thats very kind of you .. i was just gonna take some jogging pants to put over my gear when get there
Ill go to evans this week sometime see the bags they have as would take a pair of converse too .. plus may be better to get one for in the future

 

[I like Skol]

if her broom wagon skills are required, then there's enough room for one bike inside without taking any wheels off.

That's you sorted then Doughnut

If I'm staying overnight, as I'm joining at Eureka I shall be carrying a single pannier. A single pannier, I'm saying it now so single pannierists can get frothy beforehand.

Hmmmm. Which side will you be carrying it?

Hmmmm. Which side will you be carrying it?

Single panniers are always carried on the right. You may have seen them on the left but that's wrong. Unless we are amongst our continental cousins.

Phew. For a moment I thought we were going to have to shoot you and leave you in a ditch. Which would have been terribly sad.

I intend to be recognised only by my thunderous legs.

Hi

Ive been reading this post over the last few month, can I play out also

Though Im not 100% sure if I can make it?, If I do, It'll only be as far as the Eureka Cafe, so I'll be cycling back to Manchester as I don't fancy spending anytime in Wales or getting the train back

Thanks

John

I'll pop you on the Expressions of Interest list on post#1

A couple of days before the ride I'll ask for confirmations from everyone as regards whether they're riding or not. You will need to let me know one way or another then

Sorry Nick, I won't be there this year. There's a clash with a Friday Night Ride to Whitstable and, among other things, finances dictate that I choose the cheaper option. Hopefully you'll be running this ride again next year, it's a really good one. Then I might manage to do all of it .

What a pity but thanks for letting me know. Let's hope you can make a subsequent one

I too will be going to Whitstable but hoping to make v3. It's a Good Ride I Haven't Done Yet, which is reason enough to want to do it for me!
