What equipment and bike do you need?

A bike classed as a Mountain Bike is required with at least front suspension. Also a bike with a good gear ratio for the steep hill climbs.

​

MUST HAVE A HELMET! No helmet no ride. Also would highly recommend gloves, glasses, knee pads and any other form of protection being a bonus.​

​

Bike specific equipment is something I would recommend like inner tube, brakes pads, mech hanger specific for your bike e.g.

​

Food and water is essential! This is a full days ride in a remote area and will require enough water and some food in the back pack for extra energy.

 ​

Hot and cold temperatures happen on this route and you will need clothing to cover all weather conditions.it is Wales so rain can occur so please pack a waterproof jacket as weather is unpredictable. ​

​​

Suitable for E-Bikes?

Yes but some bits at the start will require bike pushing but after the first climb all the rest is E-Bike suitable. Also need to consider if your E-Bike battery will last 48km long and 5000ft total climbing.​​
