Take the A5 north out of the village towards Capel Curig, the road climbs slightly is wide with a good surface and some nice sweeping bends. At Capel Curig take the left turn A4086 towards Mount Snowdon, after a couple of miles you will reach the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel, this is where Edmund Hillarys team based themselves while training on Snowdon prior to his ascent of Everest.At the Pen-y-Gwryd take the left fork, the A498 this will take you past Lake Gwynant, there is a pull in here with terrific views of Snowdon and the surrounding mountains. Continue on this road, quite tight corners, some forest sections and another lake, Llyn Dinas. When you reach Beddgelert there are a couple of nice pubs. So why not stop, Have a beer, turn around and do it all again. This is a lovely scenic route rather than a fast knee down type blast, but pretty dramatic. A82 : Alexandria - Fort William (United Kingdom) April 16, 2009 With great weather it is a stunning ride. I was here at the beginning of April, blue skies and sunshine, simply fantastic. Stop at the Green Welly at Tyndrum where they have reserved bike parking and sensibly priced coffee. You will get to meet a lot of other like minded bikers. Fort William offers a good selection of places for lunch, quite a touristy town with skiers, cyclists, walkers and bikers in abundance. If you want to do a round trip back to Tyndrum then when you leave Fort William head south on the A82 and pick up the A828 which hugs Loch Linnhe, offering some stunning views.Then follow A85 back to Tyndrum, about 120 miles in total.Once ridden, never forgotten. D902 : St Michel de Maurienne - Le Pied de Col ( Col du Telegraphe / Col de Galibier ) (France) October 24, 2008 From the N6 take the D902 up to the Col du Telegraphe. You will see loads of fit cyclists panting and wheezing on your way up to the top. Ride down the other side of the Col and you come to the pleasant ski village of Valloire. Plenty of hotels and restaurants to choose from. Dramatic scenery. Absolute biking heaven. We rode it in July 2008. A must ride route! D526 / D926 : Le Bourg-D'Oisans - Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (France) October 24, 2008 Leaving Le Bourg-D'Oisans look for the D44 which becomes the D526 which becomes the D926 and takes you to the magnificent Col de la Croix de Fer.Cameras at the ready, it is simply stunning. Additionally, also follow the D926 to the N6 and take the D902 up to the Col du Telegraphe. You will see loads of fit cyclists panting and wheezing on your way up to the top. Ride down the other side of the Col and you come to the pleasant ski village of Valloire. Plenty of hotels and restaurants to choose from. Dramatic scenery. Absolute biking heaven. We rode it in July 2008. A must ride route! N91 : Briançon - Le Bourg-D'Oisans ( Col du Lauteret ) (France) October 24, 2008 Start your journey in Briancon, in the upper town, the walled part. Take the N91 towards the ski route of Serre-Chevalier. It has some long wide stretches and you can really open the throttle. Mountains on both sides, breathtaking. Ride over the Col du lauteret and at the jct with the D902, have a coffee break at one of the cafes to calm your nerves. Head for Bourg dOisans on the N91. Dramatic scenery. Absolute biking heaven. We rode it in July 2008. A must ride route!
