Short hilly ride from Cardiff to Bassleg

From Cyncoed we take the back route to Pontprennau along suburban roads. We then cycle on the through the new housing estate and onto Old St Mellons. Quiet country lanes take us towards Michaelston y fedw and over Penylan hill to Bassleg. From there we join the cycle route to Vanilla Pod Cafe where we stop for refreshments. After our stop we join another off road cycle route across the flat lands to Marshfield. Then we take the back roads to the industrial estate, through Vaendre and up towards St Mellons. We join the A48 in St Mellons for a 100 yards stretch, then turn towards Old St Mellons. We continue through the lanes back through Pontprennau, Pentwyn and then onto Cyncoed.

Come and join us for a short ride to Bassleg from East Cardiff. The ride is 20 miles and has only 1 major hill, but we take it gently and slowly, (and get off if it gets too steep).

We will be cycling on suburban roads, quiet country lanes, a short distance on an A road and also off road cycle paths.

We will be stopping in Vanilla Pod cafe for a cuppa/cake. We will also be stopping after each big hill to re-group.

Please bring some money for refreshments,

We never leave anyone behind
