Over the Hills to Hay and back

Leaving Erwood, we climb up to a lovely area of common land where sheep graze and you might see a hare! We carry on to Paincastle and take a scenic route to eventually descend down to Clyro, then across the Wye into Hay. We return to Erwood via Llanigon, Glasbury and Boughrood. The first half is definitely hilly but after coffee, much flatter, you'll be pleased to know!

Start your weekend with this scenic route, hopefully in the sunshine.

We will be mostly on traffic free lanes with chance of poor surfaces and grit though most types of bike will cope. There are a couple of very short sections on main roads.

Always opportunities to stop for a breather en route but the planned refreshment stop will in Hay.

Please wear a helmet and appropriate clothing for the weather. Your bike should be well maintained and do check your tyre pressures beforehand. Please carry a spare inner tube and pump just in case. Remember to bring a drink, lights for your bike, money for the café and anything else you need for a ride of this length.

We never leave anyone behind
