Open to Offas Ride

[pubrunner]

If it helps and I'm able to do this ride, still checking yet, if you can get to Chester or somewhere North of Oswestry, assuming trains here, I can pick you up on my way past. There's probably other permutations as well.

Gobowen Station is just 7 miles away and they have frequent trains from Shrewsbury/MidWales etc. If need be, I could probably give TC a lift from Welshpool, if that's any help.

Thanks Gents. I'm house-sitting so it's a matter of sorting things with my holiday companions and suchlike, but I'll get back to you on your kind offers...

 

[pubrunner]

I might be able to do this, or at least some of it. I will get busy on the logistics...

If it helps, you could stay at my pad on the Friday night; I've already warned Mrs Pub & the kids that a crazy woman or two, may stay over. (You & TMN ??).

Stop faffing about and get yourself organised.

Oh yes, have a word with Dell - I could show him the delights of country living . . . . . . . and he could finish off my supplies of the chip 'fizz' that I'm trying to get rid of. You might also summon User482 & SRW from their lairs, I think SRW has relations in Shropshire.

You wouldn't be daft enough to do that !

Would an earlier start help ?

Say 9.00 - 9.30am ?

In my experience, once you start asking people what date and time they prefer, you end up creating a bigger problem than you started with! You get 3 dates and 4 start times, so you try and please the maximum number of people by settling for their preferences and then half of them don't turn up anyway!

. . . would you ?

Hope that bloody tandems' got a buffett on it

I might be up for this as its not to far away. What kind of speed do these Cycle Chat rides go at? 60 miles is a fair way for me, won't be able to average 20mph.

Pubby I can't come I already don't have a free saturday in August. I would love to ride with you guys again, though.

Wot, none in August. I don't know whether to admire such planning or be disturbed by such a regimen. I barely know what I'm doing in 5 minutes time.

I think the last one was about 12/14 average. Very much a social ride. I think I only reached 20mph as we approached the pub.

Its not quite as organised as it sounds. I work saturdays normally (I took the day off to come on the Llandovery ride), so because we are away in August that's a couple of Saturdays taken already, which means I cant really take any others off and we already have plans for the bank holiday weekend. I wish it was a busy social life but it's not that exciting unfortunately!
