You will need three bottles with you for this ride. This is the minimum numbe you will need. This route is very remote and many of the roads are not marked. A GPS is recomended. Cell phone coverage is spotty at best. A lot of the roads are very narrow and some small gravel patches could be encountered. This is considerd an advanced level route. You should be able to do a 100 mile ride like it is nothing at all.

Mostly canal from cwmbran to Cwmcarn with some trail, road and mountain riding from Cwmcarn back to Cwmbran.

Did this route because of snowy & icy conditions.

Canal has too many barriers that you have to stop at to get your bike through, spoils the rhythm.

Would have completed quicker if conditions were good.

Tops the home to work route up to make 30 mile total
