From the M56 into North Wales, via Ponderosa Cafe where you'll find a few hundred bikes on a weekend through Llangollen to Barmouth and back through Ffestiniog to Denbigh. My favourite part of this run is the northern part, some B road and gravel but 30 miles of bends to keep you working through some excellent scenery. I'd move here if I didn't work in the city.

Corners - several different styles for each category, from sweeping curves to tight bends.

Police - I saw two police cars together but this was a March Monday, expect to see more on a weekend in Summer.

Road surface - from immaculate to breaking up, gravelly and some cow shit to spice it up
