    That's a bit of a trek for me, although it would be fun, just too far to start a ride

    Just a quick suggestion, but on the return leg, we could leave Dolgellau, aim North for Blaenau Ffestiniog on the A470, on to Betws Y Coed, over the Denbigh Moors and then join the A5104 just after Ruthin. Just another possible route with some superb roads.

    Denbigh moors are awesome and i'm sure this is just the start of the Welsh assault, there is a circuit that takes in the a section of the A5 and the A543 which is used by Evo mag and is named the Evo Triangle, its a fantastic circuit that covers 20 mile a lap. :D:D Evo Triangle | Driving Roads
    and then there's the B5105 that runs from Cerrigydrudion to Ruthin, WOW thats a road. These will all be covered on future rides coz until you ticked them off your Welsh Road Bucket List then ............. well you'll see ......!!

    I can certainly give some great recommendations around Betws Y Coed as it is right on the doorstep. As you say, it is just the start of the North Wales assault, so if people would like to see more, then I am more than happy to organise a run.

    I shall certainly be joing the shenanigans for Lee's run at Chester and doing the whole thing. Nice to start it at that end, rather than head South from home as it were.

    Ride Out. Sun 22 july - Google Maps[/QUOTE]

    just had a good look on this with google maps street view. If I put any more pins down Wales is going to sink. :D
    What a cracking route.
    All the more reason to enjoy this one.
