Cheers Colin. Feeling ok about the op and just have to not rush my recovery and end up with a setback![]()
Good luck with the op from me.
Hopefully you will be fit for (another) recovery ride with me and @EasyPeez later in the year.
It'll be like Groundhog Day.
Sounds a good idea, the Manchester start is a bit early for me to ride too, but I will definitely ride too/back from the Eureka cafe. Weather permitting, obviously.I should be able to come along again but I will do what I did last year - come as far as the cafe stop at the halfway point, then turn round and head back. @GuyBoden did that with me in 2019 and may want to again this time?
I will ride out from Manchester, but ride back to Walkden for my train home.
If anybody else fancies that variation, you'd be welcome to join me for the return leg.
Just had a look myself- eek. No services without similar hassle to London or Pompey. Makes the shenanigans of a couple of years back look like a doddle.So I've booked hotels and outbound train (Friday, Lunnon to Manch). The return looks 'interesting'. Umpteen changes and no bike reservation certainty. Will go to my local station prepared for a very long conversation...... Brompton to the halfway stop? Deffo getting the train from Eureka otherwise will still be on the road gone midnight!
At least I'll be at the front of the queue in the chippy.

Yup, the 2018 edition was an opportunity to ride to Chester!I'm regarding it as an adventure with 'more' travel opportunities![]()
No problem, an opportunity for the inaugural annual Llandudno to Manchester bike ride on May 3rd....Apologies peeps, not been around much over the last couple of weeks....I've been rather busy with personal issues/family bereavement so haven't really managed to do much.
Not even booked accommodation yet. I gather from some of the comments above that there may be rail travel issues... What's the current state of play, and is just the travel back from llandudo to mordor/Manchester as before or are there wider issues?
