Anyone out tomorrow? Forecast looks a lot better now than it did earlier in the week.

Out of curiosity.......How far is the long run to Loggerheads likely to be? How fast and how hilly?

If it's your first run I'd go on the short run. From previous reports Loggerheads can be a toughy, although we never leave anyone behind I wouldn't recommend it for a first run.

I'll lead the long ride tomorrow. It's got a few long climbs and a few short sharp ones. Loggerheads and back is a round trip of 80+ miles 🙂

Cheers guys. It's not my first run I've done a few now and was out last weekend on the run to Two Mills (I was the guy who punctured near Delamere).

I'll sleep on it and decide in the morning - probably at the point I open the curtains and see it tipping it down.

Keegsio, You'll be fine on the long ride. Won't be leaving anyone behind, run out is pretty hilly once out of Chester. Home is flat apart from the climb out from the cafe.

loggerheads is a great ride and dont forget what goes up must come down not only is there some nice climbs but also some very nice descents if the weather is nice it is made even better as you can go that little bit faster on the descents 😛 see you tomorrow and im sure you will be fine with loggerheads
i found it hard the first time i went but i had only been cycling around 2 months so hadnt got the legs 😆 second time was easier.
