A bit warm for a gorilla suit so we made Gareth some antlers which he sported for the ride. 12 was the best turnout for a couple of years.
This was part way round at the Clwyd Gate following the climb up from a fast gravel descent. Brother-in-law to be Lee joined us and kept up no problem. Jack enjoyed the downhills too – not sure about all the climbs though. Dennis was climbing like the proverbial mountain goat, with Kev and El fired up from their Alpine Etape foray.
Along some easy tracks to the flanks of Moel Fammau and the sapping climb.
Worth it though, for the fantastically fast grassy descent where Richard did his Valentino Rossi impression as he rattled past. Good job we had sandwiches as the pub didn’t. So Steve and Rob popped to the other one which did. Over to Cilcain and then up to the col for the grassy descent past the reservoir. Thanks for being a good sport Gareth, and all the best for your big day.
