The Tour of Snowdon a long day was expected, rain and sunshine and strong winds and low clouds all in a days ride.

Hi guys. Today’s ride has to go down as one of the best I've ever done. Big thanks must go to Wayne for the idea and organisational skills and Kris for the psychological support. As for the rest of you. Well you all missed out on a fantastic ride.
So as I sit here in the warmth of my living room, dry comfortable and feet up and an ice cold beer in my hand, all I can say is ...... cheers to Wayne & Kris.

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!! 4 Seasons in 6 hours, definitely a ride to remember!!
Stunning views and scenery, Snowdonia is great biking country.
We encountered some hard climbs, especially up to the Telegraph trail, where gale, driven rain was forced through already soaking waterproofs, whilst carrying our bikes up a steep field that resembled a waterfall! (Oh what joy!). But this was a few moments of grief, which was quickly dismissed as a bad memory when we were screaming downhill.
The day tested your fitness and tech skills. There were life sapping climbs and rip roaring downhill’s
In all, it was a great day, and I had a good laugh, at no time did I think ‘why am I here?’ this was down to both Wayne and Dave who really kept me going.
Big thanks to Wayne for organising the day and to Dave for the ‘Tow’ back to Capel Curig!
Cheers to you both.
