100% rideable with a road bike. First 80 miles are on roads. The final 20 miles are on a seaside bike path but the surface is metalled

Regarding average speed......

This is not a ride where everyone gets shepherded along in a big group. If folk want to go a bit quicker or a bit slower that's fine. We will have reassembly points at Altrincham (although that's only 10 miles in so we should be reasonably close together). Then at Weaverham where we will stop for a drink and something to eat. Then at Eureka café for lunch and then finally at Bike Hub Rhyl (although the Rhyl stop is optional)

So just roll along with folk who go a similar pace to you. That could be anywhere from 10mph up to 16mph. Then we all get back together again at the designated stops

If you're thinking of stopping over and then cycling back the next day that will typically be a bit faster paced than the outbound

up or tempt her to Llandudno for a ice-cream

It's open until 5pm. If you miss that it's next stop Llandudno

I'm hoping that with the hour earlier start and perhaps not quite such challenging weather we're in with a shout of getting there before it closes

OK, enough of the "rain talk". Positive waves are required.

 

[Crackle]

Positive waves

Large ones, like last time, whipped up by the wind. Actually it's ideal training weather today.

Cue jokes about being blown off on the Wirral

You only get blown off if you hang around in New Brighton...

Advance tickets to Manchester Friday April 22 and from Llandudno April 24 now on sale

I suspect the bookable bike spaces from Llandudno April 23/24 are available now too

Don't forget....buy your ticket from "Llandudno Junction", not "Llandudno"

10 quid single booked back to Crewe from LJ at 9.55pm. This means I have to make it to the end this time and sink a few pints with CC's rogues' gallery. Look forward to it...
