The firt section was a nice warm up on the road...19km...tick! Soon enough the nice riding ended and we hit the double chevron track up to Llyn Cowlyd, our legs certainly felt that hill! Cowlyd was pritty hard riding all round to be honest, glad to have reached the top. The down hills were well recieved but had some intersting mud holes waiting in discuse. Dave was attacked first, loosing his back wheel entrily to the muddy abyss (I laughed)! Next it was my turn. I tried to miss the muddy puddle but in revenge I was attacked by a hiden ditch lying in wait...front wheel in and I sommersaulted over my bike (still attached to the pedals). Dave laughed at my missfortune when he realised what had happened.
Down to capel to head back up and over to Dolwyddelan. This part seemed pritty easy compared to the last hill and we blasted through it. Although we knew what lie ahead. The next ascent was another biggy...up to the top of Cwn Pennamen (400m ish of ascent). We decided to have a wee break before hitting the hill, which consisted of us lying on the forrestry track (i could definately have fallen to sleep here!) After riding and pushing the the bikes we finally reached the top :)
Down to Llan Ffestiniog, to head up through Bont Newydd forrest. Along the track I shouted to Dave in amazement and excitment as I had spotted a large raspberry plant fall of delicious raspberries....AMAZING!!!! Decent throguh fields to Trawsfynedd and along the roas to the campsite, Cae Gwyn. Mum was waiting our arrival in the campsite armed with multiple goodies. We were sson fed with fruit salad, eccles cakes and chocolate hobnobs!!!! Mum you are amazing :)
Adter feasting on our treats we headed off for a much needed shower. Dinner....chill, more hobnobs (of course), bed!
