If we're meeting at Ponderosa, http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk/ is the site that will give you all the info.

If we're meeting at Ruthin, I would assume that we're meeting at the petrol station near Luckypants' house. Depends where you're coming from for that, but if you come off the A55 heading towards Denbigh, then pickup signs for Ruthin. Once you get into Ruthin it's the 2nd petrol station on the right. Texaco if memory serves.

I'm sure Luckypants can give more accurate info, it's a while since I've been to Ruthin now.

Mike/Claire etc, I'm easy me Either Ponderosa or Ruthin (I'm assuming petrol station like usual).

Plowsie, you want to go from Ponderosa, up the North Wales TT run (twisty with trees) to get to Ruthin... that's a detour & a half! Unless you mean the Nant-y-Garth, which doesn't have nearly as many trees as the TT run. Depends what time you're looking at getting to Ponderosa, but I could meet you at Ponderosa & guide you to the petrol station in Ruthin. That'd give me chance to do HorseShoe pass, then Nant-y-Garth before everyone even meets.

If you want to do that (Ponderosa meet, Nant-y-Garth to meet others at Ruthin), I bet Quiff will want to tag along too since he mentions Nant-y-Garth above.

Now, someone remind me, how long's it take from my house to Ponderosa again?

I'm getting my bike back on Saturday.



Would like to join you all, but Ruthin is bit too far for my maiden journey.

So once again I may turn up in the car and blag a pillion seat off LP.

Happy to meet folks at ponderosa then lead the group down to meet Merseyside / Manchester mob in Ruthin OR we all meet at ponderosa then go for the ride. Just see what folks want to do.

Sounds like the Nant-y-Garth to me, since you ride down through trees all the way.

Can ne1 come to these rides???
Also hope u guys arent to quick cus i get lost very easily
NE info always a help.

This is not a quick ride at all. This is a BIMBLE along some nice roads for lunch then home. You are very welcome to join us. Ponderosa is about an hour from Stafford, come through Nantwich, Wrexham, A525 toward Ruthin then turn left at the Crown in Llandegla (traffic lights) then left again at the roundabout.

What do folks think of that?

Is this the garage we all met up for the start of the N Wales rideout last time Mike ? if so I can lead the group over from my side.

Yes, Texaco in Ruthin seems easy enough for folks to find. If we take the route I'm thinking of to the Cafe, the ride will be about an hour (44 miles)
