  • Aiming for a 400km ride from North to South Wales next year - having never completed more than 200km I'm slightly concerned. Will have plenty of saddle time between now and then hopefully to get the legs and arse sorted, however anyone got a decent route? Could follow Lon Las Cymru, a mate has got a coastal ish route but didn't know if anyone had something they could recommend?

  • The Bryan Chapman would be a good template, decent mix of scenery in Snowdonia / Cambrian mountains and elevation isn't gratuitous. It's 300 each way, to make up the 400 you could add something on -one suggestion would be to turn at Bronaber towards Welshpool.

    Stunning and super remote, some long gradual climbs. Photo below from when I was there in July.

    Then maybe route South from Welshpool and rejoin the Chapman route.

    Both routes below.

  • That looks absolutely ideal - I could head up a little further and start top of Angelsey as well. Thanks very much!
