Sunday 3rd May - In North Wales, at sunny Llandudno, except it is slightly on the windy side!! I got the bike out and went for a ride up some so called proper hills, which we don't have in Norfolk allegedly. Although I think by now I know better.
I went to Llandudno on the bike and down the promenade, then around the Great Orme, this was quite difficult considering I was going up hill and into a strong headwind. The best bit was going past the half way point and then Marine Drive where I was hitting 35mph + for about a mile!!! Great fun, worth the climb. Just glad I had disc brakes. I then carried on round to Deganwy and Llandudno Junction before deciding to give myself another big climb up a place called Bryn Pydew......this was a bit of a hill, believe me!! Finally a nice down hill bit to Glanwydden then finish back at my mum and dads, covering 15 miles....only! but a great number of climbs, which made life interesting.
Tuesday 5th May - This time, despite pre planning...... and actually planning on going to Betws-Y-Coed on a round trip, I actually ended up going to Rhyl on the coastal cycle path....partly due to real ale indulgence with my friend Wigz the previous night. But it was very refreshing with the sea breeze. Going to Rhyl was a piece of cake because the wind was behind me, but it was another story coming home....'headwind central'.....but managed 25 miles none the less, and it was fun. Just need to play catch up with Christian now and at some point soon get a 50 mile ride under my belt! I am planning on a walk up the mountains tomorrow with Wigz depending on the bloody weather, Then I'll try and get another ride before going back home to the flats of Norfolk.
