If we do actually get a tailwind on the Rhyl section I will spend the entire time laughing at the fact that the one year @Crackle doesn't do the ride is the one year we're not battling "the headwind from hell"
No Crax = good weather. Make of that what you will
That's still time to join the fragrant Mrs Crax ...
I'll be there, as I arrive in Manchester at about 4pm.
I like Skol

Hoping to be at Beermoth at around 7-7.30 if I can get out of the house without the guards seeing me.......

That's great news because we won't be there.
Don't stay too long because we plan to arrive there at about 8pm... Would be nice to have you on your way home before we arrive

Yeh but, that other place is an out'n'out eatery isn't it? I can get a pint in while I am waiting, to get warmed up as it were.....

I'm planning to come along for the "pre-ride" as well.
I'll probably go to Port Street and then on to Bundobust (never been) but I shan't stay beyond there because up at 04.00 tomorrrow.
The thought of leaving a Ti bike in town where I can't see it is a bit of a worry but I'd rather that got nicked than my Dirty Disco despite the cost difference.
I'll be bringing lots of locks.....
I may have mentioned this earlier but I'm determined to get fish and chips before I head off to Llandudno Junction for the 19.51 back to MCR on Saturday.

A quick thought on timings for the ride....
We've done a few now. My recollection is earliest finish was about 6 and latest was about 7. At the risk of jinxing this, the weather looks more like a 6 than 7 finish
For first timers, a key thing to manage is how long you choose to spend at the Eureka cafe for lunch. They're pretty quick on service but it's very tempting to sit around for ages

Hhhmmm.
Looks like I'll have to get a move on then.
I was planning to treat the Eureka cafe as more of an audax control than a feet up stop.
Since I haven't ridden more than 100 miles in ages, I think it'll be a challenge to have fish and chips and get my train.
We'll see.

You need to factor in about 20 minutes to ride from the fish and chips to Llandudno Junction. I suspect you will have plenty of time providing you don't fall asleep in the garden at Eureka

Done that. Route already on the Garmin.
I should be OK, there are no bus stops around there.......
