Have a great ride tomorrow everyone

 

[Wobblers]

Thanks for the offer. I think I am, if not up for doing the whole thing, going to get a train to Shotton.

Understandable. Though I believe Flint has more trains than Shotton? (Flint being my most likely bailout option... )

In other news, the bike is fettled, various devices have been charged, the weather forecast iffy, knee is even more so, but I've at least remembered where I put my hip flask. I'll see you all at Eureka, at least.

Being ever the optimist, we might just skim right through the middle of it all?

Words that may come back to haunt you.... (not that I hold grudges or anything )

Forecast improved.....slightly. Looks like the heavy rain in N Wales will be before we get there.

Kit on, bike sparkling, about to eat porridge. Greggs bacon roll and coffee to look forward to at Piccadilly. See you there

Me too (almost)

Kit on, bike sparkling ready, porridge just boiled over in microwave....... See you there

Have a good ride everyone. Sorry I can't be with you.

XC Weather looking much improved from yesterday. Met Office sticking to its guns. I'm going equipped for bad weather and hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

You'll be able to spot me at Eureka: I'll be the one who doesn't look anything like a proper cyclist.

Jase and I on train, now fretting about which jacket....

Beans and cheese is nice but I prefer Chilli.

Not to mention a giant Soviet sculpture- park style foot.

 

[Crackle]

Feet up, coffee hot, off to the market in a mo, see you at eureka

 

[Ootini]

Sat on sofa, looking out the window, at the dark, foreboding clouds, looming in the distance....


Right, time for a brew.

 

[Origamist]

At Marbury, waiting for the peleton to arrive!

 

[Crackle]

So at least 30 minutes behind schedule. Trying to work out whether to wait at home or at the Eureka, probably Eureka, fed up twiddling thumbs now.

Hah. It's precipitating mightily, and I've just made myself a cuppa. I think a little strategic waiting is called for.
