The Christmas Holidays continue and we’ve almost lost track of which day it is, but I remembered it was Sunday so ended up having a fairly busy day cycling, swimming SUP Surfing, walking on the beach and indulging!<\/p>\n
It started like any other\u00a0Sunday morning for me, up early at 4:30am and time for an hour of work before heading off to Machynlleth for a 6:30am bike ride. No one else was joining me today though so I was a little lazy and\u00a0didn’t actually start riding until around 7am. As usual it was raining, but only a light drizzle today. It was of course very dark, and the roads were like rivers in many paces so even though it wasn’t pouring down I was soon soaked through.<\/p>\n
I headed out of Machynlleth through\u00a0Penegoes and then turned right towards Abercegir for a long climb up to and over Windy Gap. The descent was slower than it should have been thanks to the darkness, the river running along the road and the debris all over the road so I took it easy. It was then a left turn at the bottom of the hill through Llan and into Llanbrynmair before turning left again to ride back to Mach via Cemmaes Road roundabout. Nothing too mad, just a nice little 25 mile pootle.
