This is a hilly route and there are some steep sections
Starting from the Deri Inn, our first test is Rhiwbina Hill (steep in sections with a couple of places where it flattens back out). We'll regroup at the top before carefully descending (covering our brakes at all times please note) Caerphilly Mountain down to the castle. Our next test will be off road section either side of Van Road before crossing Rudry Common. We will then work our way back to the Deri Inn.
