A470 Ride

I appreciate that Rich, but, in this P.C. world you got to get careful about how things are worded, so, having a "time" to a "time" might get people thinking be got to be off by one time (racing to get to the start point) and there by another time (racing to get there)

I am not sure how it could be worded for the charitable angle.

It is simply going to be a ride from South to North. As far as I can work out it shouldn't take more than about 6 hours even if we just "cruise" it.

Also, I would ask the charity that the money would be going to if they have any input on the name. Just got to decide who the charity is going to be...

I might be tempted to do this. Maybe come down the day before, stay over, then A470 it back with you guys. If you get a date sorted with plenty of notice, I'll see if anyone else in the North Wales area fancies it to have a group come down to escort you to the real Wales.

Whatever you decide to do is up-to-you and it's indeed admirable that you want to do something.

I will keep my eye on developments.

Sorry for trying to gleam some details....

I am thinking that considering the distance, roads to be covered and logistics involved how does everyone feel about "Spring" 2011? If it is in April/May time then hopefully the weather will be warm and dry enough while the days will also be long enough to have the whole thing in day light. @ LuckyPants; typical North Walian talk!

Spring next year would be fine with me.

Springtime next year sounds good to me.

I'm still up for this can we try to avoid these dates, cause...

1. I won't have enough brownie points.
B. A470 on a bank holiday not good.

Good Friday April 22
Easter Monday April 25
Early May Bank Holiday May 2
Spring Bank Holiday May 30

Any bank holiday is instantly ruled out because not only the A470, but, any other road that we might want to use to get back would be too busy for my liking.

I was thinking this might have to be a Sunday run, maybe, as most traffic heads south on Sundays IMO... But, then I would have to do an up and back job in a day...

Not that that bothers me, I rode from Hawrich to my house from 9pm to 2:30am

A sunday run may cause issues for me, due to having to travel some distance to reach the start point.
