Big thanks to those who came along to be treated to a full onslaught of climb after climb and super fast descents.
With over 4000 feet of elevation and 22 miles this xc route wasn't one to be taken lightly, but the pace was a quick one over some really tough terrain, I think some of the faces in the photos sum up just how hard this route was.
Well done to Hade who completed his first ride with us and was in a good spirits even after a tumble on Penycloddiau.
The route started from near Afonwen and made it's way through Penucha, Tremeirchion and Sodom before crossing over to The Clwyds and taking in a very hilly loop of Moel-y-Parc before the last huge descent from the summit of Penycloddiau right down to Afonwen and back to the cars.
Great day out, until the next one, thanks everyone.

but the descents well made up for it. Good weather too and even some dusty patches on the clwyds 
Once near the top we were then given the treat of riding down at a fair rate of knots all with big smiles on our tired faces......But there was a price to pay and that price was riding back up to the shelf 
+ to everyone else who came along and made it a superb ride...Welcome to MBNW Hade
