Considering a trip to north wales, a touring cycling weekend essentially so looking for a 10mile ish route for some off road fun after the days touring has ended, staying in Bala. Thanks.

North Wales is awful for riding. I’d stay away if I were you.

thanks for your input mr jizz, get back to your cylchgrawn 😉

Welcome. 😆

That Cadair Berwyn loop is great, my favourite ride of last year, but its hardly a quick 10 mile jaunt to tack onto the end of a day’s touring 😀

the pictures look great but yes I think it’s maybe a bit much, but it gives me an idea of a route, perhaps I could look at cutting it down a bit and heading back via road after 1 or 2 descents.

Took me about 5 hours I think and that was in ideal conditions last July.

Have a look at other routes on that website though, some good stuff on there and you can restrict by distance/area etc.
