A lovely introduction to a route from Rhayader into the Elan Valley.
Starting along Elan Valley Trail to the first dam and reservoir for a photo stop, then we ride along green lanes through oak woodland, before ascending Cefn Hill on farm tracks for wonderful views across the Cambrian Mountains.
Descending down to where the Elan and Wye rivers meet - if we are lucky we may see an otter or an egret; than back to Rhayader along bridleways and trails.
Optional café stop at the end at the very popular Lost Arc!
Nothing technical - not too many hills (there is a narrow bridge to negotiate, but we all help with this!); one of my favourite rides which I'd love to share with you all!
