Lets Get the Training Started - Round 1

Tougher than the average Cardiff Social Cycling ride - here's one to get the training started for that challenge you've signed up for!

30 miles from Danescourt and back, with a few hills, nothing stupid, just steady - will be a good workout! Will go at pace of the slowest, and faster riders can re-group.

Route will differ slightly from the map, to offer a choice of start points - Danescourt shops car park at 8.20am, or Rumney Leisure Centre at 9am!

Starting from Danescourt shops car park, we'll head out to Roath Park and then through Rumney where we can meet people at Rumney Leisure Centre. Then head out into the lanes and back. If Bridge Road, Old St Mellons is open that could be a preferred route. We can stop at Tongwynlais for a coffee towards the end.

Might need lights for the early start, and please come prepared with drinks and a spare inner tube just in case.

If you enjoy this one, look out for more training rides soon - the aim is to increase mileage and severity week on week, so about 40 miles next week, weather permitting!
