Chirk 200

[Jord]

Anyone doing the Chirk 200 from Poynton this Sunday (28th)?

[frankly frankie]

About 80 people, if everyone who's entered turns up (and BTW be prepared for clocks forward - late arrivals at the start may find a deserted car park)

[Jord]

Forgot about the clocks

Hope the A5 is reopened following a recent crash... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_east/8582284.stm

Yes i heard about that - the route avoids the A5 but I expect every car will be diverted.

I am due to drive that way on Thursday to see my daughter in concert - sounds awful.

"sounds awful"

You really should be more supportive of your daughter, I'm sure she is going to try here best at the concert

What a super ride

The weather just got better as the day went on, and the staff at the Chirk cafe control were excellent and obviously well prepared for our arrivals.

The second half of the ride was quicker than the first half thanks to a nice tailwind.

I knew parts of the route, but this one was in reverse to many other events in the area with a few nice pleasant new bits as well.  A really nice route 

Thanks to Sheila for putting it all together 

And NO, I wasnt gurning at you Francis, it was the headwind, honestly

[Humpdoc]

Yes - agreed enjoyable especially that tailwind home.

Are the pictures posted anywhere?

[Jord]

It was a lovely spring day with some good cheap cafe's and a erm slight headwind to keep you honest!

As always a great route from Sheila.
