This guy did on Monday. You could try asking him in the comments section on his ride.
Thanks for that JonBuoy, I shall.
Have you got a date in mind?
The "official" ride is Friday, 1st June. See here:-
https://www.fnrttc.org.uk/2018-ridesI'll be doing some recce rides between now and then.
AIUI, there is still some doubt over the funding for the Knott End-Fleetwood ferry so this may not be possible.
Even if the funding comes through, the ferry still needs the tides to play nicely.
If funding/tides mitigate against what I'd really like to do, we're still going to Blackpool and we'll be using most of the good* bits of previous Manchester-Morecambe FNRttCs.
Hope you can make it yoav, it'll be great to see you again.
* Anecdata suggests that most riders like the (up)hills. I 'kin hate them but I enjoy the descents.
