The Ponderosa - cafe on the horseshoe pass - is not reopening. Initially is closed for refurbishment but is now up for sale.

It used to be a big bikers meeting place. I think the 20 mph speed limits have been a big factor - even on nice days you dont see many bikers in North Wales now.

Also like Hartside, the running costs must be huge and the trade is very seasonal.

Ponderosa is one of my favourite places, genuinely miss it being open. Used to always be a focal point of any pleasure drives into the hills. I really hope that someone buys it and reopens it. 

I’d noticed slightly less bikers around now too. But I don’t think that’s as much to do with the 20mph as the average speed cameras up on the roads around there and the Denbigh Moors and the like. 

In all honesty I’ve found 20mph to have much less impact day to day than I expected.

If they had the balls to knock on the door I'd have said no problem. they can go and get fucked.

Parking on a bend is not really on  paul. Highway Code and all that. Obstruction of view.

Seems to be room on the straight though
