It's to the northwest of Chester on the A540: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...dc5b43f5c4ed:0xb4e36a3e94c29d8f!6m1!1e1?hl=en

No stopping at the bike hut in Rhyl then?

It doesn't look much from the outside, as I discovered on the recce last year.

But it is steeped in cycling history.

It was shut when Nick and I passed, but must be worth a visit if you get the chance.

Yeah, there's a stop at the Bike Hut Rhyl. Have a look at the routes (there are two) on post #1. I've stuck a "notice" flag at Rhyl with details

 

[gavroche]

Sorry, my mistake. I must pay more attention.
Anyway, if the weather is good, I will meet you in Rhyl and join you to Llandudno, if I can keep up!

Fairly certain I'll be doing 5mph by the time I get to Rhyl

Well, what a good number of "expressions of interest". I've got everyone who did 2015 barring a few names plus some new ones already.

Just in case folk aren't looking at the ride threads atm, here's the nudge list of folk who did the 2015 who haven't popped up on 2016 thread

@I like Skol
@middleagecyclist
@pubrunner

Quite a few of us stayed in the Travelodge last time. Nice and central and they're cool about having the bike in the room. Currently £45 (no breakfast, no internet) non-refundable. There's a Wetherspoons across the road that does a good breakfast

Interested in this, but it's dependent on whether or not my wife has to work that weekend.

You're on the list. If you make it be prepared for my extended reminiscences about the Carlton in Morecambe.

Cheers! I have one or two memories of my own...

I've booked into the Travelodge this year. It cost me £45

@nickyboy. Yes, add me to the list. I've actually made it a habit of mine over the last few years to invade Wales on St George's Day.
