Even if I say so myself (as it was my idea) 8 of us had a great ride.

After work (at "very" different times) we headed out towards different points on the Mawddach Trail.
7 of us met up at a pub for a really nice sit down meal with the bikes safely locked up in a bar to themselves, several mechanicals and a late start meant we arrived at the bothy close to 11.
Mike and Stuart were already tucked up and asleep, lucky we had turned up just in front of the weirdest bunch of goth HippoCrocodillaPigs (TM) arrived with flaming torches only to find there was no room at the inn, so they eventually settled down in the lean-to barn that joins onto the bothy, rather them than me.
As the clock ticked past midnight a couple turned in, I called it a night at 12.30.
as normal
Wotsit arrived at his normal time of 1am and the wine started flowing, some slept better than others #Snoring #EarPlugs #ColdNight
The day dawned, catching up was caught up on and after much faffing 8 of us said goodbye to Mike and Stuart and headed off to ride the best parts of Coed Y Brennin's Black route and much fun was had.
Elevenses were taken at the trail head café and then headed mainly downhill all the way to our separate meeting/leaving points.
No rain, not much wind, clear sky's, much fun and many memories
Photos although not very good here
