I wanted to do it again so off we went to Denbigh (by this time I'm completely lost, I didn't recognise the roads/place names - all long, in Welsh, and began 'Llan...' or 'Pen-y-...'  ) turned off onto another brill road down by a whacking great lake, through a forest, and hey presto we're back on the original road - the dog leg?? Baph if you're reading this, I think you'll know where we are?). |
Ed was fine to go at your pace, it is nice to have some company on those roads. Sorry for not stopping more often, should have learned from Kwak yesterday. Views were pretty poor with the clouds and rain though.
FYI We went from Rhug on A5 to Cerrigydrudion, but as the weather was getting worse to the West, we went on the B5105 to Ruthin. As expected (by the local
....) the weather improved and it was dry in Ruthin. My on-the-hoof plan was to head into the Clwydian hills for a play on dry roads, but Ed was so keen on the B5105 he wanted to do it again. So we went to Denbigh, A543 to Llyn Bran and B4501 back to Cerrigydudion so we could do the B5105 again!

And huge thanks to Quiff - soz you missed your lunch  |
Glad you had a good day. It gets said on here so many times, but I think it is true. Ride at your own pace, no one minds. I was not bothered and hope you did not mind me nipping off from time to time.
