How many miles are you comfortable with, scenic or sports type of riding?

We did this route (more or less) https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=84269 that was around 150 miles, quite scenic and pretty good for sports bikes.

Think if I was going for the scenic side of things I would look at lapping Snowdon, go to say Beddgelert, then head back around the other side, it's a fair distance though.

A nice steady, scenic ride....generally just pottering, not a sporty ride.....will do us nicely. With lots of stops for stretching etc, cos I have a back problem so dont like to be in the saddle for too long.

Bangor Uni starts in the next few weeks, the roads are hell on that weekend.

Sat 22nd / Sun 23rd.

Don't think there's any bad roads up there, apart from the A55. Mobile speed cameras out most weekends.
