As the weather improves I've had my bike out a couple of times recently. On Sunday I ventured around the Great Orme and although it was threatening rain I avoided a downpour while having coffee and cake in the only Cafe at the far end of the peninsula. A posse of Bikers came roaring up the road... see pic.
It's only about 8 miles around, but it gets quite steep as the road rises with the cliffs. The great part was coasting down the other side and took a fraction of the time to get back home.

I went to Julie's new house with her daughter and grand-daughter on our bikes, but the track was really too bad to cycle, though it is drivable.
The Chalet is a tiny stone cottage built into the hillside, more like a monk's cell than a cottage! But the surroundings are magical, at least when the sun shines!!

Hi Pat --
I love these pics. They brought back memories of the beautiful Welsh landscape. Yes, Wales continues to be truly magical and what better way to see it than on a bike?! Hurrah for getting out and about, with your camera, no less, and then sharing.
With love and blessings,
Catherine
P.S. Nice bikes (yours, and Llawnen's!
Oops, I meant to write "Llawen" and complete that parentheses. Oh well . . .
oh wow, lady friend! You are so active! There is just NO WAY I could get my big butt up and around the Great (or the little) Orme!
