After Roger and Aled couldn't get to make it today I was itching to give it a go. After riding a part of the route a couple of weeks back I knew what was instore as that meant I had ridden all of the route over several rides. Anyway the weather gods were looking down on me but the recent rain made some of the tracks like streams.
**For Aled** That left hand track descending to Nant Gwynant ended up disappearing after 100 yards, so it was back to the other one we had rode/walked.
Big shame I was on my tod for this as I know some of you would have loved it. 30 miles, 5000 feet of climbing in a mix of hike a bike, double tracks and tarmac.
This was probably the last decent ride on this test bike, might be going back this week However I believe there may be another bike for testing in the post!! And there's no doubt I'll put the link up to my full review on Fat-Bike.com

And then this beast had a standoff with me and as the thing had a huge ring in its nose that an Russian gymnast could have vaulted off, I cautiously went off piste to avoid it!!
