I'd be up for this too. I've never been to the Ponderosa. I've book marked it now so I'll remember.

ok lads will defo sought this out as soon as a decent sunday comes along. am asuming sunday is best due to work comitments. lets get this month out of the way. will check the weather forcast for the first sunday in march and if fine will meet there about around 11.00 am. then have a run out to denbigh moors, betws-y-coded, swallow falls and bala lake. but also suprised that a few of you reasonable local lads have not been here before, the pondersoa is a very popular bike meeting place and bikers come from everywhere! on a nice summers sunday you would be lucky if theres room to even park your bike!

a good run from Ponderossa is to go down  the A525  Nant Y garth Pass, to Ruthin and then across the B5105 through Clocaenog Forrest over to the  A5 at Cerrigidrudion. and then head north west passing Llyn Brenig to join the A543 denbigh moors road back to the A5.

I'd skip "Betty Coed" as  you can't get parked and go over to Bala on the A470 and A4212

not sure if have done that run, may have done part of it. but it dose make sense about "b coed" thou, there is a problem in parking. theres about 12 marked bike parking places, "get the feeling they dont like us bikers there! but if we visit swallow falls dont we need to pass through "b coded" so may be worth a quick look to park to have a break and a brew! your a local lad so know the best roads. so am happy to try the route you suggested, so looks like where following you!
