Left Llanidloes at 9:30 and now I'm Newtown. Legs feel like they had enough, hoping they feel better by the time I reach that final climb. The 75m 15% climb out of Llanidloes didn't help 😬 #TransWales #bikepacking #cycling

Today's not a day for messing around ⛈️⛈️⛈️
What with the weather and my Garmim playing up I've been on mostly horrid main roads to get to Mold and I've only done 20km.
I've remapped the route from here, lets hope the weather clears up too #TransWales #Cycling #bikepacking #NorthWales

After Llanfyllin things ramped up with the Bwlch yr alt Motte and then the Milltir Cerrig, the Berwyn mountain pass. My biggest climb this year now putting the Devils Beeftub I did on my LEJOG in second place. It was mahooosive!

I've made a few more adjustments to the #TransWales I've moved the route west from Llanberis pass to Beddgelert, thrn back to Betws-y-coed. I've added Llanidloes to the route between Machynlleth and Devils Bridge, I've taken out the Devils Elbow but kept Rhigos and the Bwlch #cycling #bikepacking
What started out as an idea for a DIY audax based upon the ultra race that is Trans Wales has evolved. What was a 400km route visiting Stwlan Dam, Lake Vyrnwy, Nant y Moch and Talybont Reservoirs has turned in a 500km beast from Bangor to Barry Island #cycling #bikepacking #cyclingadventure 1/3.....
