Our ride on day one takes us over the Thomas Telford's Menai Bridge, built in 1826 and west towards and through Holyhead. We will be passing a plethora of beaches during our ride and I recommend bringing your swimming shorts and a packtowel. Will can't resist a bit of history so expect a few side trips and walking over a field or two to visit the likes of;
The cycle will be long and relatively hilly- at approximately 110km (68 miles) with 1025m (3362ft) of elevation. You'll need to be a confident road cyclist, as most of the distance is on-road (albeit mostly relatively quiet country roads). The proposed route can be viewed and the GPX downloaded from here. This is a linear route and there is not a railway station at Amlwch.
** This will be a book your own accommodation trip, to suit your own tastes and budget, with plenty of options to choose from in Amlwch. Dave & Will have booked into the Dinorben Arms, at £75 for a twin room. **
!! On the Friday night, David and Will have booked into the Bangor Premier Inn. Approximately £100 per room, find someone to share with to keep costs low. !!
If you have any questions about the event or the route please contact Will.
