If anyone knows of any good places around where I live, give us a shout. em |

It might be a bit much for a beginner but the circular FOrest Drive circular route around the mountain is lovely. Not too steep but a really good work out and beautiful views. I wish I could get up there more often! |

Joined: 12 Mar 2009 Posts: 25 Bike: My Profile | The abertillery - nantyglo route posted by Kristian(?) Gay is a fun route. I did part of it on the weekend. It goes upto nantyglo back down the ridge and descends into abertillery park. Nice descent i would imagine... I did it the other way around :( and for some more punishment i rode upto the gas pipeline coming down behind Cwmtillery. |
