Cycle Steps
1. Just a route I made up, from local riding, tried to get off road as much as poss, pitty about the road routes. Its around 10 miles in total, with the Gilfach to Tonypandy very steep start to it over Gilfach mountain top. Can also take an alternative route on the way down from the peek, will see a fork in the road head off right and you are on top of whats known locally as Pews Farm, a series of 4 very steep dropoffs thats like a cut out of the face of what looks like an old coal face, can get some big air if you're brave...
Landmarks/Sites to see?
Nothing to shout about but on a nice day the view from Gilfach Peek is stunning.
