Headed off towards Betws-y-Coed, but the rain was getting steadily worse so we turned off right down an ace hilly and twisty road that led through a forest back to Ruthin, it was terrific even in the rain. 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!

This bloke really is amazing, as Quiff said his brake light never comes on, and I hardly ever saw him change gear, and whilst things happen fast, they happen as if the bike was on rails. 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.

Seems like you folks had a nice ride, shame I'd planned to take the kids to the theatre really

I was actually going to post something along the lines of seeing your brake lights Mike, then I scrolled down to that Find any cow crap on that ride?

Now that I don't believe Mike

Next time you lot are out this way, I'll try escape for a play, so long as it's not this weekend coming At least I've shown Mike I'm not quite the hooligan he thought I was

you lucky lot, i spent all day sitting at work with almost no customers coming through the doors, jealous, me, , perhaps next time i'll call in sick.

Daryl.

No, but that particular corner was covered in greasy cow poo left overs in the rain. Glad I knew it was there............

Yea, thanks for not warning me before we set off out. I had no clue until the back end went sideways. Couldn't see for the sun

Still, it's all fun, so long as you don't bin it

Filthy bikes parked up in Ruthin. We had driven (not by choice) through a lot of cow poo. You can't really see it on this shot though.
