Other useful intel?
Snowdon on a DH bike is still on the to-do list.
They should put a bike rack on that train.
went up and down snowdon on the bike yesterday. up ranger path, over the notch next to Foel Goch, down to Llanberis, up railway path, back down ranger path to start. brilliant. proper mountain day, having to get off and push seemed part of the experience. first time i've ticked snowdon summit too despite having climbed on cloggy. lovely switchbacks on the ranger path:
though we did have 7 pinch flats between us
personally if I was doing that circuit I wouldn't listen to the southerners, either mbr or fatdoc, hehe.park at fairholmes(ish), warm up along road side of reservoir to slippery stones, up and over cut gate, back up and over cut gate, along far side of reservoir, up to whinston lee tor, down towards devils elbow, turn r to pub, cross to win hill, *cough* up win hill, down the beast, cross the A57, up hagg farm, down lockerbrook.
