The Wild Wales Challenge 2012 promises to be
enough for any cyclist. We've an exciting route
of around 82 miles, with spectacular scenery
around North Wales.
The route departs from the Penllyn Sports
Pavillion and begins with a climb up the
Hirnant Pass, followed by a gentle ride along
the Lake Vyrnwy shoreline, and on to the first
Checkpoint via some of the quietest Welsh
lanes. We then head on towards Machynlleth
for the Lunch Stop, taking in some beautiful
countryside along the way. The final
Checkpoint is reached , prior to the return back
to Bala, passing over the Bwlch y Groes at 1788
feet, the highest public road mountain pass in
Wales.
With nearly 7000ft of Ascent it's enough to test
any cyclist.
