The Hills of Wales do not bother me. None have killed me yet..

The same will not be said of the eight-legged freaks that inhibit such desolation..

You have caught me in a spider's web of intrigue, Davy...
Ten hours of torrential rain riding to Cardiff for the Kick-off will bugger you up though...and you're 'too fat' apparently... from what I have read elsewhere...
You need to see a thighcologist. It will help you with your 'inhibitions', give habitation to well-nurtured thought, and stop you from making an exhibition of yourself.

Will Mr 'Teef be cycling to Cardiff again this year?

Will Mr 'Teef be cycling to Cardiff again this year?

Might do...although, "to be Frank" I was in lousy company last year...until Aust environs.
Actually, I'm thinking of leaving a bit earlier and getting the train back from Cardiff...The pelotonypandy didn't wait at Pumpkin Hour - even though it wasn't raining!

So just cycle to Cardiff and not bother with the Swansea bit?

Llangollen is miles away!!!

 

[Aperitif]

Llangollen is miles away!!!

Me too! Must do some work - anyone would think I'm in the Civil Service.

 

[dellzeqq]

Just as long as we avoid Bog Road. Give me a stretch of dual carriageway any day over that.....

an unmissable highlight, and a thoroughly Welsh one at that!

 

[StuartG]

Blimey Stuart, are we having a row about trains now?

Careful, there are mice about ...

Will Mr 'Teef be cycling to Cardiff again this year?

I might look at this again.

I have new tyres.

I was thinking of doing it again, too: it's such a lovely ride. The date going back to July is tricky but, perhaps, not impossible - especially if a few others are up for it.

Current train fare from london to york on april 19 is nearly fifty quid, i'm sure i paid £13.50 last time. Am I deluded?

Sounds likely. It was the train fare that ruled out the Manchester to Morecambe for me last year. Ridiculous rises combined with absurd price structures are threatening to make spontaneity a thing of the past. Luckily Adrian operates an excellent ticket availability awareness system.

National rail enquiries won't go beyond April 18th. Searching for the 18th it says most tickets KX-York are £30-odd but does offer a £14.60 one leaving KX at 1030 arriving 1231

I'm driving up, but I can't offer lifts as I'll be visiting family locally-ish so I won't actually be going to York and I don't have a rack for my car, so the bike will be taking up a lot of the inside space of the car.
