Organiser's Description
Introduction
The Chester and N. Wales CTC President's Ride is a long established, annual event. It gives an opportunity for riders from all parts of our widely spread section to meet up socially whilst also enjoying a ride in either our beautiful Welsh or Cheshire scenery, (venue alternates year on year). This year, after missing 3 years due to Lockdown, it is Wales' turn. A warm lunch is provided (soup & sandwich, hot pudding, tea/coffee) at Neuadd Eleanor in Llanfair DC, where the President's Trophy is awarded to a deserving member or group.
Location & Route
Start finish is at St Asaph. Car parking is available in the town. Flowerpot cafe open from 10:00.
We shall depart at 10:30---exact venue to be decided and given on your route sheet.
The "official" ride to Llanfair DC & return is essentially out via Rhualt/Bodfari/Llanbedr DC; return via Ruthin and Denbigh. Each route is approximately 30km/19miles. Riders may choose their own shorter options or drive direct to the lunch venue where there is car parking available.
