i don’t think its negative. But as cyclist & someone who does critical mass every month, i do believe it’s an opportunity to make wrexham roads safer, better and more used for cyclists.
No it is a to quality road race which doesn’t require any outcome except we may well get to see Cav and Wig go hopefully Geraint Thomas. Are you for real or an annoying wind up merchant?

That’s brilliant news! Can’t wait.
Maybe we can get le Tour here instead of Leeds in 2014!There was a chance of a Swansea North Wales stage but Leeds won. Still a great event!
You know what you idiot. Sometimes things are put on that are great and enjoyable. Not everything has to add up in monetary terms. Think about it.

It will only be good if there is a legacy and lasting brand image for the town.
You are the most dismal individual on this earth. The Tour will be full of top riders. Please stay away as it will probably rain. Who gives a stuff about the legacy!

The problems do start with the feeder schools. My middle lad was basically written off at Junior school because he was a “problem”. I constantly asked for help as I knew there was an issue, I was ignored or my suggestions rubbished. I eventually managed to get a health professional to listen and he was assessed. 6 weeks into Rhosnesni High school and he was diagnosed ADHD, prescribed medication and he’s suddenly top of class. We always knew he was bright but the junior schools attitude did not help.
When attending parents evening at RHS I was told his reading age was spot on. What did surprise me was their remarks, most 11 – 12 yr olds attending had reading ages of around 9 :eek:
My eldest was diagnosed as autistic in Year 2 (infants). When he reached High School, this information was apparently not forwarded. Despite the calls I had made and visits to the school whenever there was an issue, they claimed to have no knowledge of his condition despite teaching him for 5 years. It was only when I got so annoyed and wrote a letter, we managed to get him the extra time for his exams he was entitled to.
Fortunately, he gained really great results, which is a testament to him. I also learned a lesson, if there is a problem, put it in writing.
I am now going through the same process with my youngest. I know of many others whom the system is also failing :mad:
I sympathise with you it is never easy. And you are very right it can be a lottery as to whether you can get past any obstacles to learning your kids may have. My kids are fortunate in that their school is spot on.
