    Off work next week so will basically be going out every day, so if anyone fancies going out let me know.

    I'm off on Monday and Thursday next week if you want a ride.

    To be honest I don't know, we have only just joined the club, I would expect quite a good turnout as they get quite a few riders on their club events. A couple of friends from work are popping along and I'll also take the lad so will stick to the 50 mile ride!

    Me and Elganesh are going to give it a go on sunday, see ye there.

    Hope the weathers not to bad!!

    I remember you saying you live in Sychdyn? I can come along and meet you there at 10:00 Monday morning. there's a pub on the main road I think if you want to meet outside there?

    (edit) found it, it's the Cross Keys

    Sunday's looking great weather wise, even better than today. I really enjoyed the ride :)

    I'll be on a white/black carrera virago, my son is on a giant scr and will be in his Rhyl kit.

    We should be doing the medium route.

    I think we are also popping up to Hope on Saturday to watch a bit of the bikeline race.

    Evening all.

    It looks like I'm going to be free on Sunday morning after all so I think I'll give the reliability ride a crack as well.

    Elganesh, I'll be aiming to get to the leisure centre for 9-ish. If you want a lift I'd be more than happy to pick you up on the way over. Plenty of room for another bike in the back of the van.

    Thanks for the offer pugwashcp, jonah1 is giving me a lift over but I'll see you there. I think we're doing the medium ride. Hopefully you won't have to nip back so soon this time!

    Weathers looking excellent for the Rhyl cc reliability ride, light breeze and sunny spells.

    Elganesh, will see you just before 8.30

    Brilliant ride today chaps and the weather was spot on too. That road through the forest was fantastic!

    Had a cracking time today chaps. Thanks for the company.

    And I have to agree with El. The section through Clocaenog down to Llanfihangel was outstanding. I'll definately be making an effort to get out that way and ride it again.

    Typical! Fair play to him for getting round the ride especially after that fall near the start.

    I got home and after cleaning myself up, crashed out on the sofa and started to doze. Not even England thrashing the French in the Six Nations could keep me awake!

    I did'nt get much chance to gaze at scenery, to busy trying to breath.

    Note to self, must do more hill climbing!!

    Met up with Elganesh yesterday. I had 58 miles on the clock when I got home. Went up to Eryrys from Mold, then on to Ruthin, had a cafe stop in Corwen, carried on the B road to the other side of Llangollen and then went up the Horseshoe. After that headed back home to Sychdyn. Good to meet one of the guys off the forum, nice day, good company and he can climb as well.

    You flatter me. Shame about the descending though, I need to work on that a lot! I suspect if the pace was upped I would be suffering a lot more and rapidly going backwards.

    It was a great ride though going down a lot of roads I've never been on before and despite all those bumps and potholes my wheels are still true! I ended up carrying on down to Broughton and back home to Northop Hall in the end to get the mileage up around 70. I'm planning one last long ride (about 80 miles), including another attempt up Penbarras, before I taper down to the Cheshire Cat.

    If I don't see any of you before I'll see you on the 29th! Has anyone had an email from kilotogo yet with all the details?

    Is anyone going out this Saturday? (21st)

    I'm in Chester and I've been doing Cheshire Cat prep, 75-95 mile runs on my own which gets a bit boring, so I'd love to ride with other peeps. :D

    I'm working all weekend unfortunately but I'm going out on my last long ride before the Cat on Monday if that is any good for you?

    Can't make it out this weekend, family commitments etc.

    Managed to get up to Llandegla on the mountain bike this afternoon for a couple of hours worth of fun in the sun. Haven't been out on the rough stuff for ages and it was berr-illiant!!! Topped off nicely with a yummy slice of coffee and walnut cake on the terrace and a fly-past by the Red Arrows.

    I'll probably try and get out again next Friday for a spin on the road bike before the big one on Sunday. It'll only 30-40 miles but if anyone fancies it let me know.

    Dragon-meister...I'm off the week after Easter. We've got my mum coming to stay but I'm sure I'll be able to sort a pass-out if you fancy a spin.

    I'll be up for that, just to keep my legs spinning. 30 miles sounds good and not too many hills I think!

    Are you going to be registering on the Saturday or Sunday?
