Manchester - Llandudno 2016 : Saturday April 23...for Harry, England and St George

I'll put them on just in case, rather not need them than the reverse. Besides if it does rain nobody wants road crap in their face.

I'm pretty sure I could replace some of my better halves face scrub with road crap and make her pay a small fortune for it

Probably just as effective too. Seen one in the bathroom recently with peach stones in it, I'm sure gravel will work as well.

Depends on the roads really doesnt it. I'm sure we could charge more for some bio-organic-vitiman b52-all natural welsh road crap?

It's possible. Tell you what, you could always suggest it tonight and see what the response is, kinda like market research

The official route I've plotted finishes outside "Fish Tram Chips" which is a rather nice Fish & Chips place. We will be having a drink in the Palladium which is the Wetherspoons

stupid question now guys. I have just downloaded the tcx file to put on my garmin 810 .. I know that it says its starting from manchester but if i use this and cycle to the weaver ham bit will it automatically just pick up the route from there and hopefully take me to llandudno ? or will it try force me to go to piccadilly

1) Get yourself to the Weaverham meet up point for 11am latest
2) Select the Manchester - Llandudno route that you want to follow
3) Your Garmin will ask you if you want to navigate to the start point. Select "X" to say "no"

You're good to go

 

[nickyboy]

OK....I've sent everyone who is interested in the ride a PM asking for confirmation of whether they are riding and that they have read the ride notes (to cover my ass in the event you career into someone or something on the ride)

I will update the "Expressions of Interest" list in post#1 with confirmations so you can see who is definitely riding

I've just seen that @Origamist has confirmed but, after much thought, I've decided to come along anyway.

Well I had cause to be in Llandudno today. No1 son went bouldering in Parisellas cave, so me and Mrc C took the dog around the Orme. I'm afraid I've used up all the good weather. Glorious sunshine and a warm sun with blue sky as far as the eye could see. I thought I'd describe it for you as next weekend will be grey and dank, cold and blowing.

Not that I hold grudges or anything, but....

What sort of odds are you giving yourself for making it out of the Eureka Cafe alive?

I'll buy you a bacon butty as penance*


*unless the sun's shining, in which case you can buy your own

 

[Wobblers]

it will have to be non alcoholic due the pain killers they've put me on

It just gets worse, doesn't it?

Are you okay with cocaine?

PS: Heal well!

 

[Pennine-Paul]

Well it was codeine not cocaine! Codeine gets converted into morphine by the liver and I stopped taking them a day ago due to the side effects,nausea ,constipation,drowsiness and reverted to paracetamol and diclofenac which worked well enough on my back pain that I have had on and off for about 9 years ( Too many years fixing washing machines did that)At least I can have the odd drink or two now,it will be weeks before I'm back on the bike though.

 

[Pennine-Paul]

Well I'll not be there for drinks on the Friday either as I'll be having an op Friday afternoon
to reattach the piece of bone broken off the top of my humerus.
Enjoy yourselves on the Saturday and ride safe.
