Got ferry/B+B etc tentatively booked now for a North Wales excursion.
With 3 full day’s riding, what would be the recommended schedule. Been years since I’ve been, and then it was: Coed-y, Penmachno, Marin, Antur etc.
Just like to know the best way to fill 3 days at a leisurely pace.
Cheers guys

I like this. It's worth it for the views and the last descent into Conwy is a heck of a lot of fun.
Well, you could always pop up Snowdon if conditions were favourable. Telegraph Valley has been sanitised AF now, but it's still worth it for the views and the ride down Rangers IMO.
The "Marin" trail - now renamed something else - has some nice new bits and is great fun still.
Last time I did Lllandegla on the way voer on Friday, then did the Marin Trail short and long (Gydwyr Mawr and Bawr or soemthing) then Penmachno, and a day at Coed-y-Brenin.
If the weather suits I'd do Snowndon too as suggest.
Definitely do the Marin - its one of my favourites, and I always stop here to take in the view:

I love the Marin. Can't really make a good argument for loving it, the effort-to-grins ratio is pretty bad but it's like CYB or Kirroughtree black, it just works.
For whatever it's worth I'm planning a similar trip and it'll probably be the Marin, CYB beast, Antur and Revolution bike park.
That view on the Marin is pretty outstanding - we stopped there too. Love the dragon's back, and the spooky dark forest section.
It's a little bit further but Dyfi Bike Park is worth a visit.
That just about gives me a smorgasbord of options guys. Last time we did Marin and Penmachno in one day, and our trip to Antur was late afternoon after a second part day at Coed-y. Is that a bit of a big ask now? Bearing in mind three of us have a combined age of 190 🤣
