Bert.

I've entered the 72km route, how painful can it be?

I hope you are going to join me Fizz n Gav

ok I've signed up ... for the 100km :S. This should be interesting! Time to book the next day off work I think!

How much do I have to spread out at the campsite?
Assuming people want to camp near me

Anyone else arriving Friday or an I dining alone on Friday evening


Im going to have a chill on Friday, Llandegla on Saturday not sure what route yet but depending on who's there maybe a hop over the back fence and do the masts route, then choice of blue, red of black routes to finish off

Hey Speedy,

I'm not feeling the full mae west this week so I'll let you know nearer the time. If I do it will be Saturday only though.

Lg

My current plans are to head over on Saturday morning to hit Llandegla for a warm up, then camping Saturday night and riding on Sunday at the Merida.

There will be 2 of us (my cousin and I) with 2 tents to stick up. Would be great if you could save us some space .

Actually quite looking forward to it now! Roll on the weekend!

current weather forcast for the merida on the Sunday:- http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/anydate_forecast.asp?zipcode=LL15+1BB&day=20&month=9&year=2009

Darren what time were you thinking of meeting at Llandegla on Saturday?

Shall we say 11am outside on the decking of the Cafe?

If anyone else is coming Mobile reception at Llandgela is iffy at the best of times so leave a message.

Weather is looking good to go up and do the masts decent, I think I will wimp and finish off with the blue route to save a bit for Sundays ride.

12ish would be better for me considering we are driving up there on the Saturday.

Here's hoping the good weather holds .

I think you idea of taking it easy on the Saturday might be a good one :S!

You and Fizz joining us Gav?

Change of plan on my part Im going to ride Friday and spend Saturday with the family.

See everyone at Ruthin
