End of Month Ride - May 09

The Ystwyth-MTB end of Month ride for May is on Sunday 31st May in the Elan Valley

Meet at 09:30 am at Strata Florida. We will ride out from Strata Florida to Dolgoch and then back via Claerwen.

Start Strata Florida, car park or by wall; 35 miles and c 2000m ascent.

From Strata Florida-florida a couple of miles climb on road before join rocky byway and climb up to watershed at 480m ; then begins a long descent on rocky track via about 8 river crossings to join tarmac near Dolgoch YH (8 miles done) just north of Llyn Brianne and at the foot of the Devils Staircase---tarmac 1:4 climb 500ft ascent before descending and down along to Abergwesyn (tarmac section for 6 to 7 miles). After Abergwesyn back onto moorlands, climbing steadily, with some pushing on Elenyyd bog, to top at Carnau 537m on a big open moorland section; from there pick up sheep tracks / quad bike tracks to cross over into Elan valley near Rhiwnant (7 mile section will take nearly 2 hours this bit!). Join track around Claerwen to Teifi pools...(bit of a slog this bit)...and then great tarmac downhill to finally finish on farm tarcks thro` Caemadog.

Bring spare socks / plenty food and drink / good sense of humour.

Total ride time will be about 6 hours.... this is a big day out!...plus time for mechanicals etc etc.

Al.
