The button was just there for me but if it's not there for you you'll need to click the arrow thing:

Device was not connected and app was not installed; the website walked me through the whole process, including installing the app on my phone.

Don't be horrid to me or I won't come...

I couldn't give a shoot at the moment anyway...

West Pier Skinny dipa (geddit) since you ask.

Personally, I prefer not to disturb the Badgers and potentially their setts. It's illegal to disturb Badger setts in the UK, it's easy to ride the alternative route, which has the added bonus of passing the Ice cream farm/shop.

Think we will stick with the original route and weave around the bollards.

Badgers are always digging up my lawn so sympathy for them has run dry for now

If you're Dr Doolittle, you must be talking the wrong language to them....

Well, I've sent it to the farking phone but you have to pay £5.49 pm to download it. Bollocks to that

Rich...there are loads of free apps that can show GPXs. You do not need the Ride With GPS app, or to pay for anything....

This one would have been a show-stopper (forgive the pun!) - Cycles may not be carried on days when a major event is taking place at the Principality stadium. Fortunately, 'Monster Jam' takes place at the stadium the following Saturday. It would be worth checking the stadium calendar for clashing events in future when setting the date for the ride***.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I've just realised that I am due to travel by Arriva Trains Wales with my bike on 'Monster Jam' day ...

I'm hoping that 'may not' is used in the sense of 'might not' rather than 'will/shall not'. I'll give ATW a ring tomorrow.

One of these years, I'm going to run this ride on the Perfect Weekend. I keep missing it by a week or so.

Thinking positively, those cycling back to Chester on Sunday should get a nice tailwind

I HAD noticed the forecast wind speed and direction just now! Oh, and it might rain too ...
