Off to North Wales, do I take my road bike or a MB?

I'll be going to Abersoch so there's no off road action to be had unless I want to drive to CyB or ByC, whereas there's miles and miles of road to be ridden in them parts.

Plus I will be riding on my own as Mrs Eye is in the family way ๐Ÿ˜€ and 'other' parties would rather 'surf' and have jobs etc.

Help a guy decide, I love my MB but will only get out once or twice but on the road I can ride every day*

*weather permitting

I drove to CyB when we had a week in abersoch.
If I was going again I'd take the road bike.

Take your mountain bike. If you fancy a ride on the road you can always take the car...

Can't be arsed taking 2 bikes/helmets/tubes/shoes/bags/bottles etc. I just want to get on a bike and ride.

Plus it's going in the car and we've got other 'stuff' to cart up.

You can ride an MTB on the roads but you can't take a road bike on the trails...

Very few bridleways on the Lleyn, so unless you're loading up the car and disappearing for more or less a whole day, take the road bike. Been there done that.

That's that settled.

I'm taking the road bike.

If I get the 'itch' I can always ride/drive to Brenin and rent an MB, but there's a lot of road that needs me to explore it.

Looking forward to climbing some real hills.

I know I thought that on the way up.

The Colnago WC looks right up my street.
