I'll be riding down with Mike, so if anyone wants to meet me at Chester services (M56 J14) and then ride over to Ruthin with me I'm happy to do that.

I reckon 3 hours to get there, so early lunch in Ruthin and set off at 12?

Sounds good to me, depending what those meeting me want to do we can either meet at the services at 10.45 and then leave to arrive for 11.45 or get to Ruthin sooner and grab a bite to eat there (no idea where, ideas welcome!).

Where in Ruthin is easy, Park Cafe behind the Texaco. Plenty of parking and biker friendly. They do a good Brunch.

Well, the Sunday just gone, Dan and I rode from Manchester to Wiltshire via Welshpool and it was a fab ride. Took us a total of just 5.5 hours ride time to get home and we were tired, but not too achy!

You'll have a fab trip down and if you fancy a stop in Welshpool, there is a bike friendly pub/B&B there called the Westwood Park which will do you a brew/cold drink

Ride bypasses Welshpool to avoid the boring road from there to Newtown. It's a good route that was used on NWR6.
