Hi Vaughan. If all goes well, I'll be there. I am setting off early cos I am going to use the A49 from Preston to Lynn's Raven Café, then maybe I won't get lost. (instead of M6) See you all then. ATB Just make sure you get the right caff for the rendezvous Have fun and stay safe.

I meant I would only have to ride one road (A49), instead of M55, M6, M56 then A49 - all them turns and decisions to make. Then there's the boredom, I hate motorways. I'm not sayin' staying on A49 will be easy, but I'll let you know.

Hi all,
Well I've finally completed the route recce, but unfortunately in the car!
Start/Finish will be at Lynn's Café A41/A49 Junction, Prees Heath,Whitchurch, Shropshire SY13 2AF
Meet at 9:30am for a 10:00am start - Fuel is available adjacent to the café.
The run is approx. 190 miles.
Fuel stops are available:
Approx 50 miles into the run at Betws-y-Coed, LL24 0AR and Approx 130 miles into the run at Bala, LL23 7AE
Lunch stop will be at the Coffee Pot in Llanberis - Station Rd, LL55 4BE Afternoon stop will be at the Loch Café, Bala, LL23 7SR - Free bike parking on the adjacent watersports centre carpark
Now the bad news.... Last week I've been off work due to problems with my knee, hence the recce in the car. I've returned to work this week however the problems are returning and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to make the run at this stage in the week.
So I'm open to suggestions? Do I postpone? I have the Garmin route, does someone else want to lead If I can't make it?

Vaughan sorry to hear about the leg hope you are OK for Sunday. If you send me the route I will pop it in my Garmin either way. If you cant make the run and people still want to do it this Sunday we can always arrange something.
I have sent you PM with my email in.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. Don't worry if you can't make it, I can always lead everyone a merry dance across Wales. I have virtually every Welsh road mapped in my tiny little brain, probably why there ain't much room for anything sensible. I can feel a mystery tour coming on. Every time you lead a run round Wales I end up getting stuck with Speighty and his broken down bike at the back end of no were, hes not signed up so I may be alright.

Good man, El_B, & Reaper too . I've spoken to Vaughan & he swears the injury was not bedroom-related, so he now has my sympathies .

Guys, was looking forward to joining you on this run but looking at the weather for Sunday here in Shropshire and across wales there is a lot of rain forecast, so will be giving it a miss unless it changes. Have fun if you still go (I'm sure you will) catch you next time your in the area.

Though I hadn't actually signed-up for this run, I had intended going. Sadly, no longer can do! Will be collecting son from uni instead. Have a good time, one & all.

Bloody L, You lot are dropping out at a miraculous rate. Not me . I hadn't said I was going. I'd rather be out on the bike than drive to Southampton, cram the car full of junk & deliver that stuff back to our already-junked-up house for the summer . .... & what's all this 'you lot' business ? Are you not ONE of US ?

You lot meant the sign ups obviously.
Given my non-attendance at JR15, I can't really criticise.

Sorry all, I won't make this Sunday, resting my knee and off to the Docs Monday morning.
I've sent the GPX file to Roger and Paul.
Hope you have a good day and the rain stays away.
