Because we went up Sunday and it was like this...

Fantastic day on the bike it was. I would recommend it to anyone.
The start of the climbing was lovely weather, but the mist came in and came in good at the top.

The very top section was proper hard to ride, and the wind didn't help, but I managed most of it with just a few dabs etc.

Just 5 minutes later, a rock leapt out at me and smashed my rear mech off, so I did nearly the whole descent without a chain. It was awesome though... Shame the bottom section of the bridleway is mostly road/track.

It was great staying nearby to Coed Y Brenin for the weekend but finding plenty of other stuff to do.

The day before we did a loop around Pont Scethin which was also brilliant.

Stayed at Graig Wen campsite and had an excellent poo with a view in the Tree Bog.

Did you camp or use one of the yurts?
We've rented the end cottage a couple of times, lovely place.

Walked it dozens of times, but never had the chance to ride it!
