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.

Start finish is at St Asaph.  Car parking is available in the town.  Flowerpot cafe open from 10:00.

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.
