Undulating ride from Cardiff to Caerphilly

Starting point

Pedal Power Café. Dogo Street, near Pontcanna Fields.
I'll be there from 10.00 having a cuppa. We'll be setting off at 10.30.

We start in Pedal Power and head through the Cardiff suburbs on quiet roads and paths to Pontprennau. We will go through a couple of very muddy roads through a new housing estate in the very far East of Cardiff. Then we head up hill on some quiet lanes to Old St Mellons and Michaelston-y-Fedw. We are then on cycle route 4 through Draethan and Machen and continue on quiet lanes to Caerphilly, stopping at Glanmors café for lunch. We leave Caerphilly continuing on quiet roads and cycle paths (cycle route 4) all the way to Tongwynlais and then on the Taff Trail back to Cardiff.
There are some hills to climb on the first half of this ride, but once you get to Caerphilly, it’s mostly down-hill back to Cardiff.

I have recced this ride a while back from Pontprennau – here are the details of the route: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/20373708?privacy_code=AUxuWUizfe1potZ4
