Wooo.....glad your coming too Phil. Will be a laff. Aside from what's been mentioned, decent waterproof may be required for this time of year.

Am most likely thinking of doing Llandegla, because if anyone has any issues, or gets cold etc, its fairly easy to drop off the main route and cut back to the car park.

Details here for the you guys who haven't been -

That is unless peeps fancy going further afield.

So just to confirm......anyone can tell me if different...

Me, Al (My Mate), DMC, Specialone and Luckypants maybe meeting us there.

Am deffo thinking Llandegla, as convenient.

So if thats correct, what we want to do for getting there lads? I don't have a bike rack but can get two bikes in my car. But can only give a lift for one other.

DMC / Specialone - You got a bike rack? Just thinking with an estate could get all in, three bikes on rack and a bike in bits in car. Just a thought. However we do it, we can sort petrol between us.

Lastly......anyone else fancy joining us?

If I was rock, I'd ride my Trek there and home again. But seeing as I will be out on the road bike the day after, I'll let that slide! See you there, I'll be in the sex-trail.

Just tell me what time.

Will do......considering that it gets darker much quicker, was thinking of departing our area as early as possible, say 8am.....would be down at Llandegla for 10am, do the route then have a late lunch. Means we get back at a reasonable time.

Unless peeps fancy more of a lie in?

So anyone else fancy joining us on a muddy mountain bike course?

Phil - you going to meet at ours for 8am, or at DMC's first? If ours let me know and will PM you my addy.

Mike - we are aiming to leave at 8am ish to be at Llandegla ready and rareing to go at about 11am. That should give us enough time to get around the course.

I would have been up for this, however:-
  1. I am up in Edinburgh all this week working so a weekend pass on top of that will be denied
  2. No car at the moment
  3. Father in law's 70th birthday dinner on Saturday night
So I'm oooot
