Is that a lot?

There's always a show off isn't there

Oh no, hang on, I think I've made some kind of false assumption

Try again. I think it was set to private.

Bloody forecast is getting worse not better, I am going to stop looking at it for a few days

napoleond

Mine says 6 degrees, low wind and sunny!

alanp23

Sorry guys, I am not going to be able to make it. Its not a weather thing but my cunning plan to sneak out on Easter Monday has not borne fruit.

Have a good time. I am really disappointed to be missing it.

You see, I stop looking at it and the damn thing improves

Pokerface

I really think we're going to have to have an alternate flat route that avoids the hills. Unless it all melts in 4 days, a lot of roads 'up there' are going to be tricky.

napoleond

I will sort...

smidsy

Damn I and just loaded it onto my Bryton :-(

Oh well at least it will give me more practice with the GPS - really struggling with the Bryton Bridge interface.

Pokerface

Well, possibly I can drive home over the top from my race on Sunday and check out the route. If it looks OK... we're good to go!

If it's total crap, then change of plan. Lots of great (flat) roads in Cheshire to take advantage of and better chance of keeping everyone together!

napoleond

And better chance of me not collapsing. I'll do a flatter route...

We're going to have even more trouble keeping up with Pokerface :evil:



You just can't win

smidsy

I'd sooner try and keep up with Pokerface on a flat course as opposed to a hilly one.

It will obviously still be futile, but at least I will be less far behind and not struggling in granny gears :-)

Pokerface

Look - I'll try and make it easy for everyone to keep up with me.


And I'll leave the TT bike at home

smidsy

Not sure if this is any use/relevance to you Nap (for choosing alternate routes)

napoleond

I'll sort a cracker...

Cleat Eastwood

I was goign to do this - but i'm not sure the weather isnt going to play tricks again - anyway, I think its really great for NapD and Colin to even think of organising this - well played -

Bobbinogs

Has anyone checked if the leisure centre is open the BH? I will give them a bell if not.

I will need somewhere to change at the start but could drop off at a services en route if I had to.

napoleond

Dunno, I only use it as its a central free car park! It usually is open...

According to their web site see here,
"Monday 1st April (Bank Holiday) - CLOSED"

Does that mean the car park will have barriers down? Do you want to give them a call Bobbinogs?

napoleond

They don't have barriers iirc

Bobbinogs

OK, spoke to the centre and the whole centre is definitely closed on Monday but the lady I spoke to confirmed Nap's view that parking will be fine.

negativelycra

Do we have a start location / time yet?

Bobbinogs

AFAIK, Macclesfield Leisure Centre, 10:00. Link to the centre is as above.

Yes. it's a 10:00am start with NapD arriving at 10:30 as per tradition.

napoleond

Got to make a grand entrance

I may have to cry off. My son has just announced he's coming home for Easter, so I'll probably be feeding the prodigal.... (not seen him since xmas)
