Manchester to Blackpool Night Ride 29-30th September 2012

[SportMonkey]

As to a meeting point, it starts at Barton Square; http://www.traffordcentre.co.uk/media/CentreGuides/webmap_Autumn12.pdf

The only bit I know is the lions at the rear entrance near the Legoland Discovery Centre - would that be a sensible point to meet up?

I'd probably suggest meeting on the upper deck by Selfridges on the south side, it's a short wander across to Barton Square and should allow us some ability to group.

Makes sense to me - local knowledge is best

You'd be welcome - I'm guessing a larger group the better at dawn.

Younger? That depends ... (I'm 42, so that's probably REALLY OLD!)

 

[craven2354]

I'm 19

 

[RoadieT]

32 here.

 

[SquareDaff]

43 here. My vote is for the younger and therefore much fitter 19 year old to lead us "OAP's" out

 

[craven2354]

Just got my number it's 0693 and as to leading you out I'm sure you could all drop me within a few miles

 

[Gez73]

I'm 38. I thought you were all referring to your rider numbers just now!
Really looking forward to this now and praying for decent weather at least on the way there in the dark.

[Jodee1kenobi]

I'm 33 number 0260. Most likely be wearing my Stourbug shirt

 

[craven2354]

I need to find some either bib pants or thermal pants to go under my bib shorts are Aldis base layers any good?

 

[Gez73]

Received rider pack today and number 0686. Decent map too this year. Just need to weatherproof them both. Gez

 

[Gez73]

Aldi's base layers are very good. I'll be wearing mine from last Autumns sale.
