Following the morning ride over Cefn Hill this is a more demanding MTB ride but well worth the effort!
Start on the Elan Trail to warm up the muscles and enjoy the scenery. We leave the trail just before Penygarreg dam and take our time up a steep ascent to the top of the Cambrian mountains. Lovely traverse along the tops before a spectacular descent down Rydoldog hill and return to visitors centre for tea.
Reasonable fitness and some MTB experience an advantage, but we will be riding at a leisurely pace with plenty of view stops!
