Personal highlights of the trip's riding have to be:
Dyfi Forest climb out of Aberllefenni. Beautiful & quiet, winding up the valley past a few slate mines. Felt really remote. A few good kickers, but plenty of nice gentle bits where you could recover & take in the scenery.
Stwlan dam climb out of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Consistently steep closed road climb up to a little reservoir, with nine hairpins! Racing down again I was reminded of that swoopy mojo you get into descending a windy col, fab.
Ffordd Pen Llech in Harlech, which may or may not be the steepest road in the world. Either which way, it's bloody wild how that road ramps. A little bit annoyed my Strava didn't stop properly at the top when I went to buy a postcard. Ah well.
