GFBD North Wales edition...
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2019 8:40 pm
GFBD=Global Fat Bike Day.
If you've not heard of it, it's where people around the world ride their fat bikes on a certain day.
Anyways, December 7th was that day and in true north Wales GFBD edition I make it into a 2 dayer. So instead of me leading a ride on the coast, I thought a ride into Snowdonia was needed...
A ride from Conwy to Eigiau cottage which I done a month ago. However this was a lot tougher due to the (head wind) gale force winds and probably as I wasn't riding the 2020 carbon Salsa mukluk which I had last month (on test).
Some pics....
