Llandegla biking

MTB Route: Llandegla Blue Circuit
Distance/Climb: 12k/200m
After our disastrous last attempt at this loop in October, when M suffered a major mechanical failure, I was keen to take him back at some point this holiday. Despite a bit of drizzle and a lot of mist, this was a far more successful outing. Festive treats helped M's morale on the long climb out of the woods, and he then really enjoyed the smooth singletrack descents of True Blue et al. Muddy and heavy going in place, unsurprisingly, but he seemed a little quicker than last time. After a drink in the cafe, I dropped M off at home, and picked up E for a walk up Moel Famau. More mist, but again a very pleasant outing with festive snacks on top. A brisk 10k outing later on completed an enjoyable tripartite day.
