Where to go in Mid Wales

[Joe]

Hi everyone,

I live in Aberystwyth and fancy getting out for two or three days next week.

When I plan routes there is usually loads of hike-a-bike and it results in me stuck in a bog most of the time.

Does anyone know any good routes, or even good tracks ect that would be fun for riding on for a couple of days, I was planning on starting from the Nant Syddion bothy.

Thanks for any help!

I can sort you out with a loop from the Bothy Joe, it'll take me a couple of days to sort it out though ... how many miles would you like?

Thanks, that would be great, I'm not sure on distance really, road touring I'll do 100k comfortably but I haven't ridden a full day offroad, I usually start late in the day, bivvi, then return by the afternoon the next day.

I guess 40k might be better, but I'm really not sure...

Thanks for your help

I'll sort you out a gpx file and send it across. I'll do my very best to avoid including any signature death-march sections

Route sent, bit longer than 40K (actually it's double but only 2400m of ascent) but it'll keep you occupied for a couple of days. Passes by another 2 bothies and hopefully contains a few less obvious / well known bits and just enough tarmac to keep your legs happy
