18th April 2010 Mt. Biking: Nant y Moch Loop Wind Direction: N/A Wind Stength: N/A Surf / Sea State: N/A Air Temperature: 8ºC Sea Temperature: N/A Weather: Sunny Max Speed: 37.8 mph (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 38.4 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Out on the road bike today as the sun was shining, I need come practise on it and I don't need to clean it after a ride. I headed out from home, into Borth and then along Glanfred lane to Talybont, from there I took the mountain road to Nant y Moch. Not the steepest hill around but in the glorious sunshine with the road snaking up the hill in front of me it felt like my own private little Alp D’Huez. With my 42×21 gearing there was no way I could get up it in the saddle so I was out of the saddle and going at a slow pace all the way up. It wasn’t that bad to be honest and I soon reached the top. I didn’t see any cars, but I did overtake one guy on a mountain bike. It wasn’t fast, it wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t that steep but I did at least make it! I then headed off around the gorgeous road that follows Nant y Moch and then dropped down into Ponterwyd. Other than the mountain-biker that I passed on the climb I didn’t see a single person or car for the whole trip between Talybont and Ponterwyd. I then joined the main road for the climb up out of Ponterwyd to Nant yr Arian before dropping back down along the main road to Capel Bangor, Lovesgrove and then on through Bow Street, Llandre, Borth and back home. A nice loop of just over 38 miles and I felt fine. |
