What sort of time would we be aiming to reach Aberystwyth?

To be honest, with the size of the group and with a few new riders, I don't think we will have time to get to Aber.
once we are at Crossgates we will see how we are doing for time, and if we are behind schedule we will cut the Aber section off and return via the lower loop.
From memory it's about 300miles if we do it all and we can drop 60 miles if we change plan at Crossgates

I looked at that as well, but tbh with the hours I'm doing at work I'd be too knackered, so as Brands is only ten minutes away (it's actually seven on a normal day, but as there's also a British Championships Motocross meet that day as well as the Brands meet there will be a fair bit of Police activity, and I might have to observe speed limits for the day..... :thumbdown:)
Well, keep it legal for the ride in, anyway, they all go home after a few hours, too much overtime otherwise.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
