Same ride but different start/finish
Meeting in the centre of Rhayader, (next to the Pump Track if you are brave enough!) We ride out on the Elan Valley Trail - with a maybe a short detour through farmland - until we reach the lane taking us though ancient oak woodland to reach the track going up Cefn Hill. Bit of a climb but nothing technical and worth it for the views across the Cambrian Mountains and Wye Valley.
Descending to the valley and riding alongside the river until we cross it where the Elan and Wye rivers meet. Back towards Rhayader through bridleways and finishing at the Lost Arc café for optional lunch or snacks!
Only a short drive (or longer cycle) to the Nantgwllt trails if anyone wants a go on them in the afternoon.
