It's that time of year again where we start to think about our annual training weekend, where we cycle from Northwich to Llanberis on Saturday, then not surprisingly, all the way back on Sunday (just short of 200 miles round trip).

We had a great time this year, and look forward to another weekend of fun and torture in equal measure (ask Al about his snow induced headache, and ask Derek about his air carrying duties, or Titch about the need to bring shoes).

Next year the dates are 22nd and 23rd February, and we are staying again at the Royal Victoria Hotel again in Llanberis ( http://www.theroyalvictoria.co.uk/).

The price this time will be around £60, which will also include your lunch stop both ways, and evening meal and breakfast. An absolute bargain.

So, if you want to go, please ensure that you contact Graham via email to confirm before the 2nd December 2013 so that final booking arrangements can be made.

We're a bigger club again this year, so we expect this to be booked up quickly, so don't delay!

For those who haven't been before, if you need any further information before you commit, just ask.
