Great cycling.

Glad you enjoyed it. I've only done it once, but I loved cycling in North
Wales too.

Interesting cycle lane using an old railway route: tarmaced

Just trying to think which one you mean; not the old line from Bangor
to Caernarfon, is it? I seem to remember (when I lived round that way
for a while) that it had a reputation as a well-designed cycleway.

wider than many roads in that area and with laybyes-cum-passing places.
There is a reason!

Is it a RUPP, or maybe doubles up as a private road to a farm?

If it's the bit I'm thinking of, it's south of Caernarfon but on the same
line (to Afon Wen on the Cambrian Coast line). The wide tarmac section is
because it was used as a temporary road for access to construction traffic
before opening as a cycle path.

Just back from my hols in Snowdonia. Five days cycling around some
fantastic countryside.

Cycle related highlights:

Great pubs, including one with so much cycle parking you could get the
whole of Le Tour in for a stop.

Bruce from Canada on his recumbent. Bought especially for his trip over
to the UK.
Great cycling.

What? No mention of the superb backup provided by the two dedicated,
hard working, talented, good looking yet incredibly modest mechanics?
