James in Brum Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Or climb, I love the mountains, I could imagine enjoying them on a bike but not the same as with ice axe and crampons! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hardest route in Wales, that would be one that leads to the job centre surely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RantMachine Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Plenty of tough rides to be found in Wales, all you have to do is leave the tarmac! Nice little 120 mile loop around Snowdonia here... https://my.viewranger.com/route/details/NTIzMDY= Definitely on my "to do" list whenever I finally flee back to the UK with my tail between my legs.

I had already cycled from Calanish Stone Circle and I didn't stop until I was halfway round North Uist . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 You could try Indian Face, on Clogwyn D’ur Arddu. Not hardest but hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
