    Yo Proxi! Errm not quite me thats come up with it, but look in the "routes and holidays" for a map of where to park re: Rivington Pike. Also Start time has been delayed till 6.30pm To give those of you who will be working that day chance to get sorted out.

    Big P gave us these, so see you all there! I'm a definate, my mate says he'll go and Proxi and BigP hopefully we can get a few more? I'm hoping that Serx72 to show with his mate as well.
    Anymore want to show please do!

    Unfortunately, work demands mean I'm unable to attend the Llandegla day on the 16th. Bummer!

    Rivington 6:30 is good for me , finish work at 5:30 (Runcorn) so if the traffic is kind (half-term) then should do it easy.


    Going to Llandegla straight from work tomorrow if anyone's interested, should be there around 6-6:30, I hear the detours now gone..

    Heh, the one thing I'm restricted on- weekends! Too much work unfortunately, we'll see how many turn up for this, and arrange another ride in the near future.

    Went Delamere tonight to test my memory of the route we did...ooops lol no chance...must have done something close though as I kept finding it again. (think I may have Ratty's sense of direction!)

    I'm up for Llandegla next Thurs, finish work at 5 so can be there from 6 onwards.

    As I mentioned, looked at the maps, and it is pretty straight forward. I'm quite happy I'll get there! I was going to contact you via PM to give you my mobile No just in case of traffic or other small problems, but the email thats registered is works and I'm not able to get to that, gonna see if I can change the email address in my profile......

    Hi guys i can make it for about 6.30, are you meeting on the road up to Rivi barn?
  • ratty2k
    ratty2k Posts: 3,872
    Bazmati,
    look near the top of the pevious page, and the maps for where to meet are there. Look out for me and one of my mates in a Silver Fiesta, with my Trek and his Maxlite. I'm leaving my house at 5 pm. I know what the traffic is like on the motorways at that time, so there will be a bit of give and take with the times.

    Forgot to mention, got to work Monday[:(!] But at least I can email a few people with my contact details..... Big P etc...
