RIDE DETAILS: Saturday, February 4th at Ride Bikes Wales LTD. Leaving the shop for 9:00AM, so please arrive with enough time to get ready!
You asked for it so we’re going to do it! Stuart has mapped out a small gravel loop from Ride Bikes Wales leaving at 9am this coming Saturday 4th of February.
Gravel, CX, MTB and EMTB are welcome just remember the route and terrain was mapped with gravel bikes in mind. I am not an instructor or a guide so you have to take the ride for what it is... You are responsible for your own safety and you need to carry your own spares on your bike.
So… ride from the shop at leaving at 9, down Coed Cae Lane, over the railway tracks through Tyla Garw then onto Llanhari. Through the Llanharan opencast for some gravel and into Bryncae. Then to Brynna and up the lane to Rhiwceiliog where there is a cheeky climb. Once at the top we pick up the Glamorgan Ridgeway to the wind farm. We will turn off before things get very very muddy and ride onto Tonyrefail through the industrial park at Coed Ely and pick up the cycle path that follows the back of the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. Then through Talbot Green and back to the shop for a cuppa. 15 ish gravel miles.
I think 2.5 hours is enough time for the ride but it may be a little longer depending on numbers. Riding with a group is some of the best times to be had on 2 wheels, and is always the highlight of the month for us. Keep in mind this is just a fun social ride and maybe a new route for you, the chance to meet new company and make new riding friends! Drop us a message if you want to ask us anything. See you there!
