Chapeau :-)

Sleep seemed more important than a weatherspoons brekkie! Hopefully catch you up

I am still in bed I don't think I have the energy to get up haha and I didn't have the night out like u guys haha

 

[fossyant]

A few hours late. God that 7 miles was hard.

 

[fossyant]

Think 3 of you have just stopped at the hub with a tyre problem.

 

[fossyant]

To the three of you, I was the 'civvy' on the blue MTB that you passed near Prestatyn Golf Club, just after Pontins.

I didn't say hello as I didn't want to hold anyone up, although it did take you 5 miles to catch me

Enjoy the ride back - that wind was hard work.

 

[mybike]

So was it any of you guys I saw sailing along with the wind at your back at 11:20 by Prestatyn?

This guy looked like he was catching you up.

It was @nickyboy who had the tyre problem, lost his rear bead came off. I've just parted ways with them at flint McDonalds, I was too hungry to continue

Thanks again to Nick for organising a great ride.

A belated hello then it was brought up that you were shifting pretty quick for someone on an MTB.

In disguise I was. The Garmin 705 and Lake MTB shoes give it away. Oh and the old skool MTB with Shimano XT and LX, sort of gives it away.

I was done in though. Back is sore now. Got a long way to go before I can do a 100 miler on the road bikes, never mind the return. Maybe next year.

I was just behind you at the road works just after the Golf course. My caravan is on the site just after the bridge, and our local is the Beachcomber on Shore Rd.

It's a killer on the coast there with the headwinds. Glad you rode yesterday as it was hard today.

There are spies everywhere. I might have passed you - were you walking.

Great ride and excellent banter in the pub afterwards. Thanks to everyone who made Mrs doughnut welcome - she really enjoyed it. We are both nursing sore heads this morning
Thanks to @nickyboy for organising - great job.

Yes, in a red fleece with my lady wife.

That's where I am now. Luxuriating in cake and wondering how lost tc and rich already are. That tailwind was Lovely

 

[fossyant]

I may pass you in a while on the coastal road. Look out for a silver Nissan Primera saloon, driven considerately around cyclists....

 

[mythste]

Currently sat in eureka cafe with cake and an irn-bru. Must have averaged 25mph with that tail wind and the flat route! Another 40 miles left and a long night sleep!

Thanks all, I'll do a proper write up when I'm home. For the time being, I'll just leave this here...
