Elins Fancy Ride.

This was another before work bike ride and took us on a tour of the hills above Betws y Coed. We did not follow the route as per the description in the Bikefax preferring, intentionally or not, to pick our own detours as we went. Most of the pictures are from Claire.

Agreement that we had taken one detour too many, this one could not be ridden (by us anyway).

Before Work Biking.

With it being a quieter week at Boulder I have been fortunate enough to get out biking before work twice this week. On Thursday morning Will, Ivan, Kelly and myself managed a 10km ride in the Sychnant Pass just outside Conwy.
This morning spurred on by the excitement of Thursday Ivan, Kelly and myself were once again assembled on the drive at Bryn Du at 7am to begin the assault on Telegraph Valley, Snowdon Ranger Path, Waunfawr and back over the top to Llanberis. We made it back to start work for 10.15 with the day spent out with the saws tidying the garden and chopping firewood.

Damaged Peavey PV2600

Last night one of my PV2600 amps made all the noises a bowl of Rice Krispies should and sent up a cloud of smoke. Poor thing is obviously confused as it was Halloween not fireworks night.
After it's little show it no longer works but I don't know what happened, seems to be a load of gunk amongst each set of the big black capacitors.
Answers on a post card please!
Thankfully this is not the one I have for sale, which was safely at home.
