Might be going on a ride on Thursday.

Just wondering if anyone knew any awesome roads around Wrexham or anywhere east of there really.

Cheers

If you live in Wrexham, look at the horizon and you will see loads.

The A542 (Horseshoue Pass) is only a few miles away.

The A528 Elllesmere to Overton (or back!) is a personal favourite. Also any of the little b-roads that run off it, the one to Wem is good as is the one to Bangor-Is-Y-Coed.

The B4500 off the A5 from Chirk and back round to the A5 at Oswestry is nice, as is the B4579 that cuts that "circle" in half. There's also a nadgery little road that goes up a really steep hill from Glyn Ceriog over to Langollen as well, not advisable to do this one in the wet though! Don't think it has a number but it's signposted in the village..........

Oh no! Not another Chris Evans. Midwives should be trained to slap the mother and shove the things back up from where they came.
