No way would I be seen dead cycling with a guy in a pink tu-tu!! You might get a bit of a chill in North Wales too...

Personally we like the Gwydir forest for cycling - south from Conwy along the B5106 to Llanwrwst and then West into the forest to LLyn Geiryonydd, circle back to Betws-y-Coed ,a bit steep, then back along the B5106. There's loads of scope for mountain biking here too.

Depends what you're after though. This ride is just a bit of a potter along the quiet back lanes, rather than a long challenging ride along the main roads and over the passes. Lots of cattle grids. Maybe you'll spot a sheep rolling over one!

I see that Hinault's been your way recently. Did you get to see him??
