OK. I know an excellent sports therapist in Liverpool who is a cyclist and an occasional soigneur for the Wiggins team. He also works with the British climbing team. PM me if you need his details.

Was he the bloke that fixed your knee that's still borked?
No! I am about to see him for the first time. I tried the cheap NHS route but both sons use him as does Mrs C. They did become rather frustrated with my insistence that I had things in hand but I give up now, as I clearly don't. The Flintshire hills did for me. Clearly Wirral hills are not as evil. Funnily enough I saw my NHS physio in the park yesterday. I resisted telling her my knee was still borked and she was useless.

this was my first long ride. And my knee was hurting a fair bit the following day. Sorted now though it just went so nothing too serious for me. Hope ya knee is better soon @mythste. Im gonna try start working on my hill climbs as if I'm ever going to llandudno again i want to do better
I thought you did great on the hilly section. You'd already done about 30 miles before you even got there and you never quit or appeared fed up despite the hills and the headwind. Don't forget that everyone you were with had plenty of hill climbing experience already
If you really want to get a bit faster at climbing up the hills the area W of Weaverham isn't bad for practicing

Surprising little hangover. 'Spoons big breakfast and a few cups of tea. 118 miles ridden back to home although the final few were a bit grim as I was knackered, wet and cold

I will try to run this one again next year. I'm also thinking about another ride with a similar format - City to Seaside - maybe later this year. I'll look into it and float it out there if it is feasible. Then it's down to interest levels. Not disclosing this new ride yet, keeping you on tenterhooks

Don't be daft, Oscar Pestoriois only had 3 boats.
@rich p I just remembered us talking about that castle near Abergele.

It is a folly but was a proper bona fide livable folly, now sadly derelict.
