6am blast to EVO Triangle

Missus away, so got up at 6am and blasted to EVO Triangle

Love the roads leading to Bala, then hit the triangle

Met about 8 cars up top, bunch of petrol heads out for a blast

Said hello and cracked on

For those that don't know, 9 miles from the Triangle down the A5 the amazing Rhug Farm shop which is the Welsh equivalent of the Pistenclause except without the steak on stone, but it's the ONlY place to eat

The only thing I could get jealous of these days is people with time on their hands, or at least those who work harder to take the time. I'll be going to a 3yr old's birthday this morning...

The key is sleep less and get up early

I'd trade tiredness for living !

What makes you think I sleep?

Great early morning run, it's been on the list for a while. Thanks for reminding me it can be done.

Is there typically / ever a strong police presence around here? Seems like its so well known it'd be an obvious hang out for the rozzers to win big?

I don't think it's about the speed, it's about the corners.

Breakfast, roads and car all look awesome.

S4WON, 4.5hrs pah! Just get up earlier, as DK says. You'll miss out on lots of things if they are 'too far away'.

I remember those days! I was up at 6am too, but I was dealing with sh!tty nappies.

I must say though, the photo that got my attention the most was the breakfast. Mmmmmmmmmm

Good work on the run Bam, sets up the day.

4.5hrs! Pah! I can do that in my slippers!

No police, why does there need to be, as long as people are not killing themselves then it's just people enjoying great roads

You rarely need to much over NSL to enjoy yourself

Was a nice 430 in Black also doing some laps

I've done these roads once in a convoy of about 15 cars, and we did get pulled by the police. We were followed by an unmarked skoda vrs estate first, but the "sweeper" at the back of the convoy suspected something, dropped behind him and radio'd ahead. Everyone immediately slowed down. A marked car caught up with us 5min later, issued a ticket to one of our group for an incorrectly spaced number plate, and threatened to put a helicopter out! We were told we were originally followed due to several noise complaints as we went through a village...flipping tubi exhausts!
