Challenging 45 mile Hybrid Ride

Caerphilly, The Taff Trail, Cardiff Bay and the Gwent Levels. Beautiful and very hilly country lanes for 16 miles to Caerphilly then a beautiful descent into Cardiff along the Taff Trail and into Cardiff Bay for a coffee or lunch. Back to Newport along the Gwent levels. Please be warned there is a difficult 4 mile section between Cardiff Bay and the Film Studios, Hold yer nerve, the rest of the ride is so fantastic it's worth this small trying section. I would expect the overall average pace of this ride to be 12mph, that means that you will be expected to cover the 45 miles comfortably in 3 hours and 45 minutes, plus stopping time in Cardiff Bay, we should aim to be back in Newport by 2-30 Please bring a road worthy bike, food and plenty of drink on your bike, a puncture repair kit that includes a spare inner tube. Money for a refreshment break.
