MTB Route: Two Lake Tour (variant)
Distance: 35-40k?
A longer cross-country mountain bike ride for a change. Left Bod Petrual with Rich in cold (by recent standards) weather, rain threatening. A pleasant tour of the Clocaenog forest tracks and fire roads took us round Craig Bron Banog, then east of Foel Frech to pick up the good descent down to Llyn Brenig via Isgair Wen. Nice views of rain sweeping in over Berwyn and Arenig. We crossed the dam, then entered the forest loop to descend to Llyn Alwen. This gave a very pleasant circuit out to Hiraethog, with some rain, and reminded me of the rather lengthy complete loop of both lakes that I ran with Neil in March. We cycled back to Brenig to find the cafe closed - a devastating blow! So the return trip to Bod Petrual via Carnedd Ci and Bryn Du was more uncomfortable than it might have been.
