Iain, Claire, Maria and I have spent the weekend in Lanafan near Devils Bridge in Wales. The weekend was dedicated to training so I am not sure why I have brought 8 empty bottles of wine home (Alix joined us Saturday night so that's not so bad).
Our first mountain ride was on a glorious Saturday morning with blue sky and not a cloud in it. We completed 31km which involved four climbs on a circular route from the cottage a Blanafan, down into Lanafan, up to Llanfihangel-y-creuddyn , up again and across to Devils Bridge,before returning via Pont-Rhyd-y-groes.
Sunday we completed a 33km ride with 4 main climbs via Ystrad Meurig including a killer of a climb back up to the cottage from Llanafan. I don't think we can call it altitude training but was well worth the effort. It will also go some way to catching up with Matt who completed the Tour of Wessex last weekend and who came 84th over the three day , 300 mile event.
