Penglais Hill/Borth Loop

***IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE ABERYSTWYTH SPORTIVE AT THE END OF MAY THEN YOU MUST PRACTICE THE FIRST HILL OUT OF TOWN*** IF THE WIND IS STRONG OR IT IS RAINING HEAVILY WE WILL CUT THE RIDE SHORT BY TURNING TOWARDS BOW STREET BACK - 10 MILES EXACTLY WE CAN AVOID THE MAIN ROAD BY GOING THE BACK WAY OVER THE FOOT BRIDGE TO RUGBY CLUB AND OUT TO LEISURE CENTRE. WE WILL TAKE THE ROAD TO HOSPITAL-CARADOC ROAD AND THEN RIGHT TO BOTTOM OF PENGLAIS (AVOIDING THE BUSY JUNCTION). WE WILL THEN ATTEMPT PENGLAIS HILL - PASS THE LIBRARY/UNIVERSITY - THIS ROAD SHOULD BE LESS BUSY AT THIS TIME OF DAY AND WIDE ENOUGH FOR CARS TO OVERTAKE YOU SAFELY. ONCE ON TOP WE WILL DO THE CLARACH DESCEND AND THEN TURN RIGHT FOR BOW STREET. AT BOW STREET JUNCTION TURN RIGHT AND GO STRAIGHT ON TOWARDS BORTH - SOME SMALL CLIMBS AND ONE LARGE DESCEND BUT THEN IT WILL BE FLAT FOR HOME. IF WEATHER IS NOT IN OUR FAVOUR THEN WE WILL CUT THE JOURNEY SHORT AND TAKE THE ROAD TO BOW STREET. WE WILL THEN JOIN A VERY BUSY ROAD AT THE ROUNDABOUT TO LOVESGROVE -WE CAN GO BACK VIA THE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE ONTO CYCLE PATH BACK TO CEREDIGION OFFICES
