Weekend Wale(s)
Mountain Biking was great fun as usual and Betws-y-coed is stunning. We must go back there in summer. The weather held but we had a late start and took an easy cruise around parts of the Marin trial with a crowd from V’s work. I have now had enough of renting bikes. They are never setup how I like and there is always an issue – like having to get the bike back to the hire shop before it closes. When we get back from our travels I want one of these.. all donations welcome.
Betws also has a serious selection of outdoor shops – V and I had a little time for browsing. You know it’s a cool shop when you can walk around all muddy in your MTB gear and no one notices ! So much more satisfying than browsing on-line when you can try the stuff on. We had big plans for Sunday; Visa applications, video editing, trip planning and the Tonale blog report, but these all failed to get off the ground when mission control had technical issues….. getting out of bed. Now we are really running out of time !
