Here we go again .. full on #EdMode 🦿🚀
Some beauts there – nice loop is up the Baran road , down past scotch pines then up past where the salt boxes were – type 2 fun for sure 👍
Yesterday I had to drive from Swindon across Wales up to Machynlleth. Some epic climbs like The one over Dylife and happy Valley. That entire middle part of Wales looks like a cycling heaven.
Ouch some of that looked too steep for me. Agree with you on some of the views absolutely cracking. I know everyone has done the Gospel Pass but i did it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and loved it up there. Just wish I hadn't rode for 100 kilometres before starting it😂. Must get back down to the homeland more often and tick a few more off👍
Ed Thanks for showcasing Llanguickie Road IMO the toughest climb in South Wales inc Rhiwr Road.
Swansea has some really tough climbs ‘To Townhill’ being the toughest 1.3km 138m of elevation @ 9.9% it runs parallel to Constitution Hill one would be hard pushed to find a tougher urban climb anywhere in the UK
