[mikeee]

Is there anything this guy does not know about Llandudno?
What a genuinely nice person with all the kind offers of help and assistance.
I have a question???
Just how steep is the Sausage Hill climb?

 

[mikeee]

Pity I'm on a train home the same night! I really like the sound of the donkey killing breakfast!!!

While I'm here can I just ask if other riders think I am capable of this or am I biting off more than I can chew,
Longest ride........25 miles
Speed............12mph
Age ...............nearly 50

Will be starting at the eureka cafe.

And what I should be doing to train for this / any locals fancy training rides...?

How about........

Ride up killings hill
And repeat x12 every day for a week!!

Come April you'll be uber fit.....

In all seriousness you'll be absolutely fine, the only way to find out if you can ride the distance is to ride the distance, I'm sure there'll be plenty of support on the day to ensure no one is left.

You'll be fine. Plenty of other folk to ride with and the miles will tick by surprisingly easily. If you want to feel confident in your abilities before the ride, perhaps gently up your miles over the next couple of months. Not to particularly increase fitness, just to show yourself you can do the distance.

I lived in Llandudno for 30 years.

The hill is a bitch, I sweat just driving up it.
