Just seen this.
There's nice riding out of Betws on the B5106 - the back road to Llanrwst, Trefriw and Conwy. There's a Ghost bike on this road but don't be put off. If you ride out any further than Tal-y-Cafn it gets a bit hilly but you can cross the river here and get back to Llanrwst on the A470. This is a TT route and well used by cyclists.
42:16 is going to be a bit of a struggle to do much else though. Just climbing out of Betws towards Ogwen will be difficult. I say difficult but I'm not sure I could do it and 42:16 is my favoured training ratio around the Clwydians. If you can put an 18 on the back as I do for longer rides, you'll open up a lot more of the area.
