Mountain bike route: Llandegla black run
Distance/climb:21k/400m
An enjoyable blast around the black run at Llandegla in the mist this morning. First bike outing for Rich and I for several months, and only the second time I've ever done the black route. It does add a surprising amount of extra riding to the normal red route and is considerably steeper and more interesting. Seemed to be some new sections on red and black runs. Rode the full route fairly comfortably in a little under two hours: the drop-offs seemed a lot less steep than last time, and the climbs are quite staggered if a bit slippy and awkward in places. Particularly enjoyed the deliciously smooth, flowing descents on the initial black section: the bike's poor suspension didn't spoil it for once.
