This is a lovely scenic loop ride along the River Taf to Nantgarw.

It's a Christmas ride, so feel free to decorate your bike and yourselves with costumes, tinsel, lights or festive decorations. Just make sure that you and your bike are safe to ride.

We plan to take some photos along the way.

We will cycle up the Taf Trail, through Tongwynlais, continuing up the steady gradient to a short uphill 'wiggle', then descend to Nantgarw, via the China Works foot bridge, returning on the lower section of the Taf Trail towards Taff's Well and back to Pedal Power.

The ride is a mix of trails and roads, with a couple of short climbs and one descent. The road sections can also become a bit busy at times, so please only sign up if you are confident on roads and using your gears/brakes.
There will be a stop at Pedal Power at the end of the ride, cafe and toilets available, so bring money/cards if you would like to buy refreshments..
It is recommended to wear a helmet, also bring a spare inner tube and tools to change it if you have them, and a bike lock for the coffee stop inside the cafe.

Please do not sign up for the ride if you feel unwell or are showing symptoms of Covid-19 or have tested positive in the last 14 days.
We never leave anyone behind :)
Bring a snack and drink if you need one before the end of the ride. NB come prepared to fix issues on your bike yourself if at all possible, ie pump, spare tube, tyre levers.
If you have any questions, please either 'message ride creator' through Lets Ride, or post it on the ride conversation tab.
