I have my cast-iron navigator and the cue sheets and I'll see if I can download to my phone. Somehow I'll make it *prays*

Could one of the technos advise on this?
@rich p ...that isn't you by the way

For anyone feeling totally lost, as long as you've got a smartphone you can download ride with GPS and get a free 7 day trial or 1 off usage for about 3 quid. If you don't leave the screen on and only check directions at junctions or if you're really stuck, the battery will last all day - and if battery fails bring an appropriate lead and aim for me at a stop as I'll have a portable charger with me

I'll stand down then!

Just follow the trail of broken bicycles, fallen wounded and corpses! Would have worked well last year if you had been at the back..... (Sorry @Cubist but until you started coming round and moving you could well have been the latter )

Still no memory of what happened.

Not forgetting my fall/collapse 6ft before the finishing line

Or mine in the sandpit on the cycleway near Rhyl for that matter. Took me ages to get the bike clean again in the Travelodge shower

I'm feeling lucky so I'm planning on loading the full ride into my garmin - really going to try to get well past the M60 before my bike gives up this time.

We need someone equipped with a rack, a tin of paint perched on top and a hole in the bottom to ride out front and leave a trail.

I was just planning on having a curry on Friday night.

I arrive on Friday night about 8.20pm, by the time I've checked into my hotel I probably won't get to the pub til gone 9.15/9.30pm. I may need chips or something to go with my Guinness.

Hi Wanda. I'm going to be at the pub all evening and hopefully with a few other riders. I'm also going to try to drag along anyone I can from the CC Beer Appreciation thread.
The pub does food but not sure how quick they will be on a Friday night. They are fast with the cheese (big thing of theirs with bread and crackers) but not sure if that's the sort of thing you're after

Edit: not sure if you know but, being in possession of a train ticket allows you free travel in the City zone on the trams. I think you can't take bikes on the tram but this may be useful to get to the pub (nearest stop is Shudehill) from your hotel
