Just back from riding the north loop of the Mawddach Big Eight , click the link for all the details. The route takes you to some truly amazing places.  I should really be doing the south loop tomorrow but duty calls. Hope to clear a day next week. It took me 6 hours and 40 mins, sure it could be done faster but spent time just looking at the views. As any true athlete knows recovery is very important, feet up and a large slice of banoffee pie. The financial reference in the title? Dont forget to take some loose change for the toll bridges.
