Day 3 (2/3)
The climb up Machynlleth Mountain was a good 10k at 4,5% avg., but with steep sections of 10% avg. It was hard, but proper nice. A narrow road with no cars and lush green views wherever you pointed your head.
We rolled down to Llanidloes where we snacked on the sidewalk. It was already 5 PM and we’d only covered 70 km due to our mucking about and slow average speed so far. Once we got going, however, the terrain got easier after a while and we were picking up speed. We pedaled into Rhayader, and motivated by our recent increase of pace, decided to keep going for Builth Wells.
The desolated and fast roads made it easy and enjoyable, and we averaged 30 kph for the final 20 km – full TTT mode!
