Road cycling: HK-Minera-Acrefair-Llangollen-Horseshoe Pass-Bwlchgwyn-HK
Distance: 72k/44m
Resting up before the 1000m peaks fell race on Saturday, so it seemed a good opportunity to do another road ride in preparation for the summer trip. This was an almost exact reversal of the route done on 24 February in preparation for the Cheshire Cat. It seemed a little tougher this way round, with the climb from Hope to Bwlchgwyn deceptively steep and long from this side. A strong headwind, yet again. Nice riding from Minera through Rhos and Acrefair to Llangollen, where I enjoyed a restorative chicken pie before the big climb from the town up the Horseshoe: again, considerably harder from this side particularly with a headwind (which finally turned in my favour after the last hairpin). Just over three hours, with an early start.
