I was thinking about that train too, will be getting up super early as it is (I rarely get up before 10 on a saturday if I can
), but most likely I will get the slightly earlier one to MCV, gets in a bit earlier and it's only a few minutes ride over to Piccadilly.

You can ride fast and catch us up
Actually a couple of minutes late start is no problem but I see @si_c has a good suggestion for Manchester Victoria instead. As he says, it's only a few minutes over to Manchester Piccadilly
Please let me know your final arrangements nearer the time

There is a train that arrives at Piccadilly at 07.41 but I like the idea of getting the train to Victoria as it is a 1.1m ride and that could make the difference if the ride to Llandudno falls a little short of the 100 mile mark

The flatter route is officially 98.9 miles so your extra 1.1 sounds just right. If you take the hillier option at Flint then it's 102.4 miles anyway
Worst comes to the worst you can ride up and down Llandudno prom a bit to get the century

Still enough time Wanda, still enough time
Just needs a bit of logistics and a desire for good beer

Great stuff. The pub is a 15 minute walk/5 minute ride from the train station

I am interested in doing this ride but cannot confirm until much nearer the time. Can I just turn up on the day?

Here's how it works.....
I will stick you on the "Expressions of Interest" list on post #1. This means you will get any PMs that I send out relating to this ride.
A day or two before the ride date I will ask everyone on the Expressions of Interest to confirm whether they are riding or not. This way I know exactly who is turning up and where so we aren't hanging around for someone who isn't turning up anyway. Anyone who doesn't confirm one way or another is assumed to not be riding
As a matter of good manners anyone who says they are riding but has to pull out at the last minute or is running late needs to either post on here (I will ask a rider to keep an eye on the thread on the day of the ride itself) or send me an SMS
Other than that, just keep an eye on the thread for updates etc

OK got that nickyboy. I would probly stay the night in Llandudno then ride caernarfon (for old time's sake)
next day and back to Bangor for the train home. Work commitments or Mrs t could scupper me though but I will confirm one way or the other. Thanks for your quick reply.

I'll go home after the pub Friday night. It's only 30 minutes to Glossop. I'm not planning on a monster sesh in any case, need to be up early Saturday. You staying in New Mills?
