Saturday 12th September
Meet in the Carpark of the Glan Aber 08:30 for a 09:00 start.
Saturday Morning’s 70 mile route ( uses the old EVO Triangle roads around Lyn Brenig (watch out for the average speed cameras). Then things get better and better after the right turn through Cerrigydridion. The road to Ffestiniog is a treat, after which we head on the back road into Harlech for an early lunch.
Saturday afternoon returns to the hotel via some of Snowdonia’s best roads and spectacular scenery (53 miles).
For those who have not had enough there is an optional 3rd leg on Saturday, a 43 mile ride around Snowdon.
Sunday 13th September.
Meet in the Carpark of the Glan Aber 08:30 for a 09:00 start.
Those who opt to blast home on Sunday are really missing out on some little known quiet gems on the route back.
Sunday morning’s route goes back through Capel Curig and then heads for the coast road through Barmouth. Then we go around the estuary to Faibourne (the brave can take a short cut across the old wooden railway bridge, speak to Matt Dent, he knows it well). Then we skirt around the south side of Cader Idris on one of the best roads you will find in the UK to the Ty’n y Comel Hotel on the lake for coffee. 74 miles.
Sunday afternoon heads back to Wooferton on more familiar roads. 77 miles.
