Well, as the thread title really.

I’m not especially fit at the minute, but can plod along (rode Reading-Bristol as a 60/40 mile split along the Kennet Canal without colapsing into a diabetic coma). I reckon I can up the amount/distance I’m riding quite a bit, and have a go possibly over the August B/H weekend.

Will probably bivi/camp, probably wild but could be on a campsite.

So for someone with average fitness, is 2 days do-able?

Also not sure how much hassle it is leaving a car somewhere and getting the train – have read it’s easiest to leave one in Church Stretton?

So, any advice?

Doable, but it’ll be a hard 2 days, especially with the weather we’ve had (having). 3 makes it more enjoyable.

Yeah I’d read Pedalhead’s account. I can guarantee you I won’t be doing it in 12 hours.

Also, anyone got a copy of the Trans Cambrian Ride Guide and maps this one? Any good?

Planning to do this in a day in early June as a charity ride.

Big Day Ride for Henry.

Hoping for a dry May!

At the halfway point (roughly) after Claerwen reservoir you ride past a very nice Bothy (Claerddu) which is a good idea for a nights kip. You want a good block of dry weather before doing it as large sections get very wet after prolonged rainfall but by August you should be ok.

Don’t forget to tell us your times 😉

by August you should be ok.

I think it’s fair to say that Aug is one of the wettest months around these parts 😀

Unless there’s a special category for 1/2 blind, unfit diabetics I don’t think I’ll bother posting a time, ta.
