Hi Tramp,

I sometimes use Best Biking Roads for ideas.

Russ,

I am thinking of doing a ride up through Wales soon, I need to see if I'm fit enough to do a bit of distance and check out my luggage situation.

I know some good back roads up to Bala/Lake Vyrnwy area, I was going to camp somewhere and then ride back the next day, I would prefer to do weekdays (quieter roads).

cheers, Bob.

Hi Russ,

Great to read that you're on the mend.

Ride to the Thee Tunns at Bishop's Castle, South Shropshire: the roads are well bendy on the way there and distinctly wobbly on the way back - don's ask me how I know this, I left the region when I was eighteen - a loooong time ago (thumbs)
