Climb challenge

Thiis is a serious challenge which involves some main roads, country roads and cycle paths. There are steep climbs here with Herberdeg Road being the most challenging, in my opinion. The main roads arnen't overly busy but some of the country roads are narrow with rough surfaces in places, be prepared to stop to allow traffic to pass on these. Some of you will find the climbs too severe but if you manage to complete this course then Alpe d'huez will be a piece of cake (maybe)? The last part of the course from Cynheidre to Trimsaran is mostly a cycle path and a leisurly ride back to Trimsaran  Start at Trimsaran leisure centre and finish off here for a nice cup of tea at Cafe Becca. Cycle from Trimsaran towards Mynyddygarreg for your warmp up hill session and then mostly down hill to Pontyates. You really need to have your hill cycling legs with you to complete this course. It is not a race and please don't treat it as such for some of the roads are not designed for it but what a lung expander. Note,  when you enter Trimsaran for the second time some of you may wish to end the challenge here. Also at the last visit to Cynheidre you could take the shorter main road route back to Trimsaran with just one more sharp little climb as you turn off from Pontyates to Carway.
