14th October 2006
Mt. Biking: Snowdon Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered: 12 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Making use of the lifting of restrictions decided to do the snowdon ascent
with a few people from Mtb Britain forum.
What a beatiful day the sun was shining and nice and warm, only problem
this also brought out all the walkers!
We went up the llanberris path as this is suposed to be the easiest way
up.
I managed to ride a fair bit but there was also a lot of pushing and
carrying not used to having to do that!
I only managed one fall up the way up trying to ride a steep step up and
getting stuck half way.
There were some great views on the way up but unfortunately the cloud
closed in while we were at the top.
The decent down the ranger path was good at the top part, once I used to
the smell of burning brakes! The next bit was realy technical have to
admit I whimped out of some bits and pushed the bike down. There other
bits that were a carry as there was no way I was going to ride them!
There was another push up over another steep bit then down hill all the way
to llanberris bunny hoppin the drainage gutters across the trail all the
way!
A really good day but a bit too much stuff that was unrideable one to
chalk off though riding/carrying/pushing to the top of the highest mountian
in England/Wales
