@User9609 - we left at about 9.15 or so and Crackle and I arrived at the chippy at about 5.30pm I think. We had two food stops and a few regroups along the way and I did the flat route. Others did the hilly route. I'm 4'11 and ride bikes marketed for children, with 650c wheels, although the Trek I used on Saturday was marketed as a small adult bike when I bought it years ago. Clearly the others are taller and move quicker than I do, so maybe they could knock 30-60 minutes off my arrival time?

For the Llandudno ride this year I got the train from Eureka otherwise I'd still be on the route at nightfall. That was a good idea, so may well do the same next year. The chippy at the end is well worth the effort.
 
I think I've got about 6.45 riding time and 8 hours total time. I didn't really pay attention to when we set off and when we finished

[QUOTE 4986472, member: 9609"]what time are you doing this ride in ?
I often do an 84 miler down to my mums but that takes me a whopping 10 hours. even though I'm knocking out 5000 mile a year my overall speeds just never improve. :sad:[/QUOTE]

Just checked, and for me I have ~5.45 ride time and 9 hours elapsed time, which is about par for the course I think. On a social ride like that a 10mph overall average is pretty decent as it means around 12-15mph moving average, which is probably the top end of how fast you'd want the ride to go overall without deliberately breaking it up into fast and slow groups.

I think your elapsed time includes the chippy before you rode to the pub.

Hi Folks.

Rather than trying to tag all possible interested parties individually in a new thread, I think it will be easier to start the frenzy by posting here.
