Riding weekend - Betws-y-coed (Friday, Saturday Sunday, Monday)

Mark Hinde has kindly suggested this ride and will lead the actual riding.

This is a riding weekend for all our members, families and friends. We will be away for 4 days but you can turn up for a single day, stay over one night all stay for the full long weekend! We will be riding:

• get there on Friday (drinks in the evening)
  
• Penmachno loop 1 and loop 2 on the Saturday (3 hours about 27km). Possibly the Penmachno loop 1 in the evening as a night ride
  
• the Marin (24km) on the on the Sunday
  

On the Monday (bank holiday) will be some scrambling/hiking/ so bring your boots.

I am bringing my wife and 3 kids. It would be great if others could do the same so the families could go out together while we ride. The kids would play together and they could enjoy themselves instead of always being left at home!

There are many family walks in the area and lots for them to do.

As we have a 7 month old baby we are not staying in our tent. We are staying in a local youth hostel. It is cheaper than a hotel and still offers good accommodation. If anybody fancies booking the hostel with us their phone number is 01690 710796. There web site is HERE http://www.betws-y-co...

Lets all try to make this one a good family event and I hope to see you all there with your family members.

PS it will give our other halves a chance to complain to each other how their partners are so boring always talking about bikes! lol

Note
I have never heard of Penmachno so was a bit dubious about it. I found a few comments on the track HERE

It seems very good, supposedly better than Llandegla!
