Much needed time in the saddle today. This is such a lovely route - very, very quiet roads and lovely scenery. The weather was kind too today 😊 It's a bit of a lumpy route so quite challenging in places, but the descent to Penrhyncoch is fast, fun and spectacular! Feeling calm and refreshed ☀️

After missing the good weather yesterday, I went out in the foggy haze today instead. It was a great ride - I had the hills to myself and there were signs of spring everywhere. Lovely, lovely, lovely ❤️
