I'd love to go, but am going to Mexico on the Sunday. I floated to idea of coming on the Saturday ride out (you're only about an hour and bit from where I live). However, I got the "don't you f'ing dare go out on your bike the day before our holiday" look from the missus .

So, looks like I'm going to be wrapped in cotton wool instead of riding around Wales "interfacing" with sheep.

i'm riding down friday pm and probably back late saturday, so if you tag along, technically you won't be going for a ride on saturday.... you'd be going for a ride on friday and coming back on saturday
whereabouts in cheshire btw?
if you are within 20 mile radius of warrington, that was me before lol
