Route information
Long Route
Distance: 80km
Elevation: 1500m
Percentage of Route Off Road: 80%
The route starts in Ruthin and begins with a 5km stretch on tarmac to warm up the legs. After a short off road section hit the day’s biggest climb with fresh legs. The 3km backroad climb through the forest gives some great views as you get higher. From the summit you will stay on the flats for the next 40km.
The long route then takes you around two reservoirs on fast, flat gravel with great views as the trails cut through the forest with the water on one side and rolling hills on the other. These are perfect gravel trails – remote, smooth and rewarding. From the reservoirs cut through the forest before a fast section on the road back to Ruthin for a well earned beer & some food. An 81km North Wales classic route.
Medium Route
Distance: 53km
Elevation: 1150m
Percentage of Route Off Road: 75%
A short, tough but very rewarding medium route. We follow the long route up to the reservoirs over a big back road climb and through lovely gravel in the forest before skipping the section round the reservoirs and a rapid descent back to Ruthin.
