Thanks for posting this ride up Tarbo. Good full days riding really enjoyed it. Haven't been on a ride like that for a good while. As always nice to finish with a pint and chips in Conway. Cheers Chris for the tyre repair. Look forward to the next one.

A great day out yesterday for the 10 of us that made the trip over to Conwy before making our way over to the Roman Road to start the ascent and descent of Drum. Then it was down the NW Path into Llanfairfechan before making our way back to Conwy for chips and a pint.

I got the route to 25 miles with around 5,000 feet of climbing, including the 2,000 climb of drum.

The weather was kind, which allowed some great views over towards Anglesey and Puffin Island, and the trails were running dry and fast which provided for some great riding. As usual the banter was brutal but all in good humour

Cheers to Karl for suggesting the ride and to Ken for the navigational expertise. Also a big thanks for everyone that made the effort to get out and making the ride the success it was. Nice to meet Kev too, who done extremely well on what is not an easy ride.

Just to entice a few more of you away from your TV, XBOX or Playstations, here are the pictures from the ride



























































The next weekend ride I'm out on will be the Forum Ride on the 23rd, so hopefully I'll see some of you there

You seem to be missing some girls . I'll have to make a reappearance soon, looks like it was a great ride. Glad these rides are starting up again.
I did Snowdon at the weekend and the weekend before I beat Rachel Atherton in the Foxhunt!
