    Couple of lads at work thinking of doing it but don’t know if it’s possible

    Lots of the route are footpaths and get really busy at the weekend, you’ll most likely have a verbal clash at some point along it.

    Here’s a alternative that uses legal trails and uses Offa’s Dyke sections that are legal to ride and to be honest is a fair bit more rideable than some of the cheeky sections if you stuck the path all the way along it.

    It starts a Gweryd Lakes but that’s only a few miles down the back lanes from Llandegla village anyway.

    On MBNW we have had an annual ride of the route over the past few years in June/July with some minor tweaks as its a good long day out, and after we ride home for another 30km when we get to Prestatyn, so a good test of the legs, 100% rideable when it’s dry but expect a ton of hard climbing.

    Oh and stock up well on food and water you might not get a chance to top up along the route, there used to be a little village shop about half way along but it shut down a few years back, I seem to remember that there was a little cafe/coffee shop in its place when we went past a few months back, but we didn’t stop to have nose and see what its opening times were.

    Forgot to add when you first see the coast in the distance, don’t think you have got the hard stuff out of the way, as you have not even got to halfway.
