Getting into Holyhead at about 10am so will have a few hours to divert for a spin somewhere on the way to the Dyfi. Rode CYB the last time, wasn't a huge fan of the trails we did there, seemed to be random patches of unthought out rock thrown into flowy sections, just to make it more 'tech'. Seemed to be the theme there. I preferred it in the late 90's and early naughties..

Anyway, maybe it was just the loops we did there. But we're open to suggestions, apart from hike a bike up Snowdon or anything daft like that.

Cheers!!

Stwlan Dam near Blanau Ffestiniog
Bwlch Y Groes (from Bala, Lake Vernwy, or the monster from Dinas Mawddwy)
Hirnant Pass near Bala
Ffordd Pen Llech in Harlech (steepest road in the world)
Arthog near Fairbourne, to climb up to around Gwennan Lake close to route up Cadet Idris
Etc.

Such a great area for road riding!

I would recommend this as well, probably the Marin over Penmachno though.

Yep I remember it being the most underwhelming trail centre I had the misfortune to ride
