Boughrood to Rhos Fawr Common, stopping at The Bakers Table, Talgarth Mill for Coffee and Cake

Starting at Boughrood we take the quiet, gently undulating back road to Glasbury. We then climb up towards Velindre and shortly after begin a long, steep hill that leads up to the common above Talgarth.

There follows a stunning high-level route with a particular steep drop, down and up, to tackle mid-way at Llanelieu. The lanes will be pot holed and muddy in places and these sections should be ridden with care. There are also a few farm gates and cattle grids crossing the lane at various points.

After the common, we have a long, steep, pot holed downhill returning all the way to Talgarth and the Bakers Table at Talgarth Mill where we will stop for some refreshment. Afterwards we will return to Boughrood on a level route, using some busier roads.

This ride should suit intermediate riders who don’t mind riding in a group with those who may cycle at a slightly slower pace. Open to both male and female cyclists. If you’re free and fancy getting out on your bike for some fresh air, fun and non-competitive exercise, join us on a “Ride Social” bicycle ride starting and finishing in Boughrood (Max. 8 participants).
