Wow, you all have proper bikes too? All is forgiven 😉
It's a great loop tho. Windy when we went as well, but I think we had nicer weather (end of April)

Did you finish on this descent? I reckon that's the best way round.
nice pics!
looks weird seeing dan (the 5th) riding a bike with a suspension fork 🙂
Rhiw Trwmau, flippin' ace, that's one of our Wednesday night ride routes that. Another worth a punt is Y Grib if you're on the way, extends the loop a little but an excellent ridge to descend back to Pengenfford. None of you have a Five then?

Slowrider, all the proper bikes were at home today 😉
Orange 5 Neil?? Sorry they're far to slow and cumbersome for freeriders like us 😉
Haha, it's a good job I'm making mine even slower by ditching the Float 32 and putting a pair of Van36 on there. Gives me an even better excuse when being overtaken.

Not that mainstream though - obviously none of you would be seen dead with a Specialized.

I'll refrain from making Specialized jokes as one of the riders pictured works for a Specialized dealer. Though interestingly he has loads of different bikes and none of them are a specialized. 😆
Some nice pics again Tollah. Just a bit of a shame that you were too slow get any shots of the faster riders on the rocky bits. 😉
A few more crappy shots from me.

Fast enough to keep up Stu (when not getting snakebites) just not fast enough to drop you by a couple of minutes in order to get the camera out!
Normal service has been resumed today ss in the FOD running a vindaloo gear :-0

You dream about that mate. 😆 😉
No, I dream about you 🙂
*Feels a bit sick* 😉
looks like great riding, but how did you FoD dwellers cope without tree cover? Did the wide open sky fill you with dread and did you have to burn a ceremonial cheese in a wickerman before setting off to appease the great god wongear lest he smite you for your gearie sins 😆
Wtf Tazzy? None of us live in the FOD, the rest is right however 🙂
Looks sweet and dry , hats
That is a great route ... except the walk up Y Das, but long descent afterwards certainly makes up for it!

That's why we went up Y Grib instead. A much nicer climb and you can ride a lot more of it too.
Some of those people are walking, it's awful when ur heros are exposed as mortal 🙁
I'd like to see anyone clean Y Grib going up.
😉
