The 5 Olympic Rings Ride

What better way to celebrate the last day of the Olympics than cycling 5 loops of the Great Orme to represent the 5 Olympic Rings. We will be starting at Providero on Mostyn Street where the Olympic Cafe Avec les Champions is being held. 28 miles of cycling (45km) with 755ft (230m) of climbing on each loop. But that also means 755ft of descent to recover before the next loop. No stops on the ride other than stopping at the top each time just to make sure we are all together. Plenty of time for coffee and cake when we get back to the Cafe. I have described this route as challenging as it is quite a climb and you will be doing it 5 times. Also we will sharing the roads with lots of tourist traffic. The road around the Orme is narrow and likely to be busy as it is tourist season. The roads in Llandudno will also be busy. Please be prepared for traffic. A cycle helmet is compulsory and bring clothing to suit the Welsh weather - the Orme is often windy and a waterproof is always a good idea. Bring a spare tube in case of punctures and refreshments to keep you going as we will not be stopping at the cafe at the top of the ride. Bring some money for the cafe afterwards.
