Took the bikes up to the Elan Valley on Sunday afternoon to follow the
trail from Rhayader to the Craig Goch Reservoir. It's 9 miles each way, but the trail is relatively level (no major ups and downs - which is good for me as I'm not the fittest of cyclists!).
Took us about 1.5 hours to get to Craig Goch - Martin could have done it much faster (he's gotten into mountain-biking of late). I speeded up a bit on the way back, despite being a little saddle-sore (probably because it's got more downhill and gravity was on my side!).
Stopped at the
Elan Valley Visitor Centre for a cake before the final stretch back to Rhayader.
All in all a very pleasant afternoon - a tad overcast in comparison with Aberystwyth, but otherwise I guess it might have been a bit hot - could have done without the horse-fly bite mind you.
