Caffi Gwynant, Snowdon to Bangor Railway Station
A solid 2-hour bike ride across Eyri’s most beautiful country roads. Relatively flat for a mountainous region too. You’ll pass through some lovely villages such as Beddgelert, before getting the train home from Bangor.

Penrhynduedraeth to Snowdon
A very scenic but hilly 10-mile, 1hr route from the train station at Penrhynduedraeth to the Caffi Gwynant, not far from the foot of the South Side of Mount Snowdon. You need to carry your bike about 300 metres up steps as you come out of Pen.

Harborne & Birmingham Canal loop from Halesowen
Lovely route featuring lots of quiet, scenic canal towpaths. After the initial road section you are rewarded by frequent opportunities to be surrounded by nature, with the odd coffee stop thrown in for good measure.

Clent Hills to Wyre Forest - Boxing Day Bike Trek
Leg 1 of my Boxing Day bike ride from Halesowen to Wyre Forest, Kidderminster. Lots of old pubs en route. Bewdley would have been worth a proper look - very pretty little place, but only passed through.

Oath Coffee Shop Shrewsbury to Pant
Nice little 18-mile route from a cool hipster coffee shop in the medieval town of Shrewsbury to the village of Pant. Mostly cycle paths and quiet country lanes. BTW - that rusty singlespeed bike is not the one I completed the journey on! :) Spot it en route if you…

A tough but beautiful bike ride on the ncr 81 route. Stopped at Llanidloes for lunch. Pretty little village. Some brutal climbs thereafter, but an exhilirating descent into Machynlleth for the final stretch.

The second part of a ride i was completing (bike app didnt record the first leg from Aberdyfi to Dolgellau for some reason). Anyway, i shouldve labelled this a bike/hike as i spent a good part of the journey pushing my singlespeed up some hideous inclines. Not for the feinthearted. But, almost worth
