ooh yes of course. ta RD. Never thought of that as I never stop there in the car.
If anyone wants to meet at Lymm, post and we will arrange a time to pull in.
Other than that the meets are 8.30 am at the Northenden bus layby (I am such a classy bird I tell's ya) and then 10.00 at Chester services.
Once again.....
I was also thinking for those who are traveling from Manchester/Stockport way, that we could, if anyone wanted to, meet up and ride over to Chester together. If anyone is interested in doing this, I would suggest the meet up be the Northenden junction (one before Sharston) as there is a long bus layby where we can pull in. I don't know how long it takes to get to Chester on a bike so I would suggest 8.30 am (extra time at Chester to get drink, go to loo, have a natter) meet up, but am happy to be corrected on route times.
Just posting the route again for anyone who is just looking and/or new to the site.
Essentially its a day to meet up, meet friends, make friends and basically have a good enjoyable day out....<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Remember the route is flexible and everyone is welcome and engine size, experience etc will be taken into account and worked round. Don't think you can't come along because you have a 125, no experience, minimum experience or anything like that (I'm still a newbie as I'll will only have been riding just over a year and its only my second "big" ride).
10.00 am meet up at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chester</st1:place></st1:City> services M56 J14 and A5117 (North of Helsby) access from both motorway and 'A' roads<o:p></o:p>
A55 - A494 to Ruthin<o:p></o:p>
A525 - A542 to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Horseshoe</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Pass</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> (Ponderosa)<o:p></o:p>
A542 Llangollen<o:p></o:p>
A5 to Corwen<o:p></o:p>
(Detour if you fancy it A494 to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Bala</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Lake</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>)<o:p></o:p>
A494 back towards Corwin, turn West onto A5
join A470 to Betws-y-Coed – Llanrwst<o:p></o:p>
***Suggest you check your fuel at Betws-y-Coed if you haven't already done so, don't run out on Denbigh Moors***<o:p></o:p>
take A 548 - A544 (South - East) Llansannan<o:p></o:p>
A543 Denbigh (East)<o:p></o:p>
The A548 - A544 - A543 can be a bit challenging for the novice but great experience, just be careful. There's plenty of opportunity to get some food beforehand so blood sugar and concentration levels should be well up.A525 back to Ruthin<o:p></o:p>
A494 to Mold - Queens-ferry and home.<o:p></o:p>
Depending on what time we set off and how hungry you are there are various eating places and watering holes along the way:<o:p></o:p>
The Castle Cafe at Ruthin near the river, favourite haunt of bikers and cyclists - limited space, gets real busy, good food, inexpensive, toilets.<o:p></o:p>
Ponderosa, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Horseshoe</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Pass</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> - big enough to accommodate just about anyone, usual facilities and friendly sheep<o:p></o:p>
Bala Lake - various places but can be on the expensive side and a bit touristy!<o:p></o:p>
Betws-y-Coed - as above.
Hi Cally
Message sent and offer for a pilliy, now I have had some pratice lol. Also if you want to head up to Rivvy Barn anytime, just give me a shout and I will see what I can do :)
Could I ask that anyone who is attending who hasn't already posted their piccie on the events page to do so. That way both RD and I know who to look out for and we don't miss anyone at the meeting points.
For those who don't know me, I'm the tall leggy blonde masquerading as a 5ft 2 round gobby short arse!
Reminder of meeting points so far.
08:30 am - The Northenden Bus Layby (come off the motorway at Northenden (M56 Junction 3a) and go across the junction as if heading back onto the motorway.
10.00 am meet up at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chester</st1:place></st1:City> services M56 J14 and A5117 (North of Helsby) access from both motorway and 'A' roads.
If anyone wants to meet at Lymm Services on the M6(as suggested by RD), please let me know and we will arrange a time.

RB
