Starting point




Caerphilly
CF83 3EA

Rudry Common single track. Starting from the car park we ride across the common, the route is hilly single track, so it’s narrow in places two or three feet wide, rocks will restrict your line choise to six inches in places and careful pedal placement will be needed to avoid pedal strikes. You will also need to control your speed by carefully using your brakes on loose low friction off road surfaces. Most experienced road cyclists shouldn’t have too many problems. Like all off road riding it must be at your own risk.
This loop is 25% off road and is about 3.25 miles long and has 381 feet of climbing.
We will need to use our skills to navigate roots, rocks , loose surfaces and to control our speed on some steeper sections.
The rest of the is on quiet country roads.

25% off road and 75% on quiet country roads. You will need a gravel bike; a mountain bike or a hybrid suitable for off roading with strong forks and tough tyres.
