A Ride of Two Halves

Leaving Erwood, we climb up to a lovely area of common land where sheep graze and you might see a hare! We carry on to Paincastle and take a scenic route to eventually descend down to Clyro, then across the Wye into Hay. We return to Erwood on well-cycled lanes via Llanigon, Glasbury and Boughrood.

Up and down on the way out but flatter back!

We will be mostly on traffic free lanes with chance of poor surfaces and grit though most types of bike will cope. There are a couple of very short sections on main roads.

Always opportunities for a breather enroute but the planned refreshment stop will in Hay.

Please wear a helmet and appropriate clothing for the weather. Your bike should be well maintained and do check your tyre pressures beforehand. Please carry a spare inner tube and pump as it is hedge cutting season! Remember to bring a drink, lights for your bike, money for the café and anything else you need for a ride of this length.

We never leave anyone behind
