Sychdyn to Moel Famau and back, Clwydian MTB trailquest

My last long run before the Jungfrau marathon was home (in Sychdyn) to the top of Moel Famau and back - about 75mins each way. Two days later, did the Moel Famau race in 35mins (finished 35th) and last Friday did a final 10 mile run by way of fine tuning for the Jungfrau. Yesterday, rode the first Clwydian trailquest, around 50km around what is essentially a mountain bike orienteering course spread out across the Clwydians. A fascinating blend of hard riding, route planning and navigation. Being local helped, but we were still only able to get around 17 of the 27 checks within the 5 hour limit.
