Managed to get a ride in on the Hills above Conwy, North wales tonight. Weather was cracking, trails were dry and fast and as always the view was to die for. I am so lucky to have this out of my back door.

    Not far off mate, the first 2 are just over the back of Penmaenmawr and the rest are on the top of Sychnant pass above Conwy.

    I've been riding up there now for about 18 years and I never tire of it.

    Will have to square away a ride up there. The climb up to drum is a cheeky one from Aber, from sea level to about 770m with hardly a flat bit!

    I'm off for two weeks from 9th MAY.
    Getting over some sports injuries stuff, but sure I can do something over there.

    I'm in Llanwnda, C'fon, and used to run the DC Conwy/Llanrwst Mtb club few yrs ago.
    Used the Marin loads.

    Bust me femur 2yrs ago at CYB so things a bit slower since then, lol!
