Hooray! finally got here after some delays and a change of B&B location from Llanuwchllyn to Cynwyd which gave us an increase in mileage for the first ride.
I was twenty when I first explored Wales on two wheels, enthralled then and now 40 years later (plus a fair few Audaxs in the 80's) here we are again, not the same bike but effectively almost.
The two days of rides came from this book...
Which I would recommend if its your thing. Each route includes a GPX download link so you can drop it straight into your Garmin etc.
Our first day took us on a 53 mile loop from Cynwyd, cross country to around Lake Vyrnwy, over Bywch-y-groes and back along lake Bala to Cynwyd.
Beautiful woodland valleys for the first few miles
The only way is up......guess who's carrying the picnic?
Just as Bywch y groes starts to kick up
Ms TF is somewhere up there giving it full gas.
Following day we drove over to Betws y coed to complete a comparatively short loop of about 26 miles although harder than we were expecting. Fantastic roads on this one.
