ROUTE - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40431969
Gravel, rough stuff, hike-a-bike and hills.
The route will take the form of a local loop of 90km(ish) from Cardiff, made up of all the g̶o̶o̶d rough stuff in the nearby hills and commons.
From gravel to hike-a-bike, we think we have a sweet loop to share and explore with everyone.
The route will be demanding and tough in places, but hoping the no-drop & fun pace will make it accessible to anyone who fancies big day out.
This is most definitely a self-sufficient ride and not supported or ‘organised’, the idea is simply that we all meet up and ride. So with this in mind we would advise to pack enough food & water to sustain you for a good chunk of the day, as well as enough cash to cover a can of coke (to put a halt to an impending bonk) or in case you experience a mechanical & need to hitch a train home.
Bike wise we would suggest a gravel/cross bike with 35mm tyres to handle the rocks and general rough route or even a MTB if you’re that way inclined.
We will be meeting outside The Brewhouse & Kitchen, Cardiff (Mochyn Du) and heading out around 9am and finishing whenever you want, but we are sure to be having some beers on return.
