Seems to be the theme so far! I'd be interested to get out into North Wales some more, the Clywds* especially as it's a pretty easy run over to them.

Retrobike Rider
The Clwydians is a great range of hills to ride.
I started biking on them on my Dyna-tech BITD.
Suffered hypothermia on them which wasn't pleasant,
nearly curled up in a ball, wanted to fall asleep, nearly died...
But Conwy as a destination
is probably half an hour further down the road. Tops.
And these hills are way much more fun. Geographically, physically and retroistically!
The Carneddau take a different mindset over the Clwydians, it's a bit more remote and out there, the riding is way better but you need some mountain sense if the conditions go against you. Hypothermia is not an option!
