How challenging is this ride?
8 out of 10
Why?
Due to how long the climbs are throughout the day. The descends are not too technical containing loose rocky sections.
Overall this ride is for someone who can tackle a days ride with steep long ups and rocky downs. Some ups are steep and require walking or hike a bike which will be taught during this full days ride

What equipment and bike do you need?
A bike that's classed as a Mountain Bike is required with at least front suspension. Also a bike with a good gear ratio for the steep hill climbs.
​
MUST HAVE A HELMET! No helmet no ride. Also would highly recommend gloves, glasses, knee pads and any other form of protection being a bonus.​
​
Bike specific equipment is something I would recommend like inner tube, brakes pads, mech hanger specific for your bike etc.
​
Food and water is essential! This is a full days ride in a remote area and will require water and some food in the back pack for extra energy.
​
Hot and cold temperatures happen on this route and you will need clothing to cover all weather conditions.it is Wales so rain can occur so please pack a waterproof jacket as weather is unpredictable. ​
​​
Suitable for E-Bikes?
Yes but some bits at the start will require bike pushing but after the first climb all the rest is E-Bike suitable. Also need to consider if your E-Bike battery will last 48km long and 5000ft total climbing.​​
