Lord Street, Penarth to Bradford Street, Cardiff

Head out from the city center and start your ride along a smooth, paved path. As you ride, you will encounter a gentle, rolling terrain that is mostly flat, with a smaller portion of hills that will challenge your legs a bit. After roughly a half-hour of cycling, you will reach a more hilly stretch, where the elevation will rise around ten kilometres. The ascent will be mostly gradual, with a few steeper inclines that will test your endurance. After around half an hour of climbing, you will begin to descend roughly a hundred metres, with some sections offering a smoother, more gradual drop. After roughly two-thirds of the ride, you will encounter a short but steep ascent of roughly thirty metres, before the elevation levels out and you begin to descend back towards the finish line.
