Heads still hazy from the night before, a week of excess, and the lure of a fancy dress event.
This year starting earlier to allow for more people should they turn up – twenty  riders took part in this year’s VC Melyd & Rhyl CC Brass Monkey Time Trial.
Nine miles of joy, four celsius, damp roads, and first time riders.
Twenty Seventeen is under way.
