Looks nice. I'm hoping to get to Criccieth (via Betws-y-Coed) one day this weekend if the weather holds. That stretch from Betwys down through Blaenau to Porthmadog is probably my favourite ride.

Few more pictures of our ride, very similar to the ones you've already posted Grant. Shame about the video!

Had a cracking run out to Bala this morning, and back home via Ruthin. it was surprisingly quiet on the roads. What was even more surprising was the complete lack of police, I assumed it'd be lifting with camera vans with it being a sunny day.
I thought I was keen setting off at 7:30am, but the prize for keenness has to go to the group doing wild swimming in Llyn Tegid when I got there. Now, I love swimming, and the lake was like a millpond today, but there's no way on earth you'd get me to swim in it, it must be f*cking FREEZING ... |

That's a cracking piece of road, Cross Foxes to Tal-y-Llyn, and all the way down the side to Bryncrug.

Only went as far as machynlleth then back up't hill again. Speed camera setting up at Cross Foxes when I got back to the top.
I'll be doing the early run again so much more enjoyable without the traffic. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
