I work at Gliffaes hotel running their fishing courses in the summer so should get the opportunity to do a bit of training on that road. I know it quite well ad I often go up there picking winberries and I also taught my son to navigate with a compass up there this summer while we were camping in Pencelli.
Looking at the route it comes out of llangynidr and over and up the switch backs on to the moor.
Bummer, I thought the date for this was early June. I'm already booked up for the long course weekend in Tenby and to pasify the wife have arranged a few days away the weekend before. The same weekend as the Brecon event
Right then that's me signed up
Looks like I am the first too!
Best get out riding that hill.
Over the last couple of weeks I have managed to recce the whole of the bike course for this now. I am glad I did so no surprises.
Saturday I did the final climb up from Llangynidr to Tredegar. I had to take a few short breaks on the way up to get the blood back into my legs especially after the 300mtrs of 28%. Fantastic descents too.
I still haven't had a recce of the route.........But i hate doing that climb in the car so going to hate it more on the bike........
did some lovely climbs yesterday on the wye warrior sportive........so hopefully got the legs in gear ready for blaenavon next sunday
MTRI, to be honest I don't remember any of it feelind as bad as that. The data came from Strava.

There is also an short but decent climb on the upper loop between Sennybridge and Libanus, a mere 18% max
Hope you all enjoyed yesterdays Sportive?
