Please join me for this ‘introductory challenging’ ride including the Nant Gwynant hill climb, one of the top hill climbs in North Wales. We start at Llanberis and head over to Waunfawr. We travel down the beautiful Gwyrfai Valley to the picturesque village of Beddgelert. The Nant Gwynant hill climb comes towards the end of the ride. It is a lovely long climb that is never too steep (the average grade is 4.4%) and gives amazing views of the heart of Snowdonia. Finally we descend back to Llanberis.
This ride is 'no frills' as there is NO café stop. We will have some roadside stops to have a drink/snack (bring your own).
This ride is weather dependent. We won't ride if there are strong winds (20mph+) or it is pouring with rain.
Large proportion on A-roads and B-roads, with some country lanes and limited cycle path mixed in.
Ideal for Breeze riders who want to challenge themselves and have fun! And those who are new to Breeze rides are very welcome. This ride is classified as ‘challenging’ because it includes the Nant Gywnant hill climb, as well as a few other steep ramps on the way round.
This is an ‘introductory challenging’ ride as we will be completing the ride slower than our usual speed, at an average pace of approx. 15kph (9mph).
This ride will definitely let you test your legs! We ride up hills at our own pace and regroup at the top. We never leave anyone behind.
WHAT TO BRING:
A drink and snacks for the ride (particularly as this is no café stop)
Clothes suitable for the weather
A helmet
Repair kit and spare inner tube
Make sure your bike is in good working order with the tyres pumped up before arriving on the ride
