I remember singing "I can see clearly now the rain has gone...." cycling down Rhyl promenade. Sure we're getting sun this time........you trust me don't you?
You might like to look at an event run by the Chester and North Wales CTC group.
In July each year they run The Bert Bailey Memorial Veterans' 100 starting from the village hall in Duddon, which is about 15 miles east of Chester
You have be 50+ to take part. The event is very well organised. The entrants are split in to groups of around a dozen, each with a group leader from the club (who knows the route)
The groups are set off at ten minute intervals. After 25 miles there's a tea stop, with lunch supplied at the half way mark. As the route goes roughly south along the Dee valley the route is quite flat, I don't think I used my 34 inner ring last year !!
I don't know the date for the 2016 ride but for an entry fee of less than £20 it's one of best days out I've had on bike, 100 miles will never feel so easy !!!

Thanks for that.............looks very interesting.........as does one of the links from it.
Can I get to see the route...............I have googled it without success.
As I don't have a GPS I can't show you a file of the route, however I do have a map!
From Duddon the route goes south in an elongated 8 shape. It goes through the lanes to Overton (elevensies), and then continues south to lunch at Llandrinio, west of Shrewsbury. Returning north via different roads to Overton for afternoon tea and back to Duddon to complete the ride.
Sorry if this is a bit vague but hopefully it will give you some idea of the route. It's all on OS maps 126 & 117.

I'm putting this tip in the memory banks!!! So simple but never considered it before!
So much easier getting the train with no bike
Thanks for that..............unfortunately it doesn't seem to give any sort of route and the attached map doesn't show one........unless it's me ??
