[#11835583]

Morning all! I'm working in Llandudno next week and was thinking of putting the MTB in the car for a ride after work. I don't know the area too well for riding, is there much riding from town? I've seen YT videos for riding the Great Orme but that's about it. I will be mobile, but riding from town would be good. I know there's the Gwydir Mawr a Bach in Llanrwst which is a 30 minutes drive away which is an option if there's nothing closer.

Conway Mountain is a great ride and closer then the trail centres, in fact you can ride their easy enough from Llandudno

Another Vote for Conwy Mountain and also up to Drum.

Vortex (Hi Dave) gave us a fantastic route a few years ago.

Former UK road bike hill climbing winner, Dan Evans, does some MTB rides starting near Llandudno. Very easy to find on Strava, he is in the STW club, might give you some ideas.

That looks good, I'll probably be on the HT too as it's easier to get in the car! Anyone got a route? If not I'm happy to go old skool with a map
