We will be starting in Hailey Park and then going up the Taff Trail to Caerphilly. After Caerphilly and Bedwas there is a steep climb up Pandy Lane towards Maesycymmer. We climb up passed Bryn Meadows Golf Club and then descend towards Sirhowy valley on traffic free trails. Then onto B road to Risca where we stop for refreshments. We continue onto Rogerstone and then climb up over the hill towards Olds St Mellons. Arriving in the new Bridge Estates and onto the Eastern Suburbs back to Hailey Park in Cardiff.

A hilly but lovely loop through the lanes and trails from Cardiff to Caerphilly, Maesycymmer and onto the Sirhowy Valley, with a Cafe stop in Risca. This is a challenging ride with over 2,500 ft of climbing, but the views are worth it!

We will be cycling on traffic free trails, B roads, 1 busy road and smaller country roads. This bike is suitable for all types of bikes.

We will be stopping at Greggs in Risca for a take-away lunch and drink. There is a park opposite the café with park benches.

Please wear a helmet and bring a snack with you as the café stop is over halfway on route.

We never leave anyone behind
