Cycling from SWCC

[samh]

Morning all,
I'll be down at SWCC in a few weeks, and due to injury, can't cave.
So while my friends are having fun I'm planning on taking my bike out.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 50 - 80km route? I'll be on an ebike so, hills shouldn't be a problem. Quiet roads and gravel preferred.

Komoot doesn't have anything to offer in the area.

Any help much appreciated.

I remember watching this, going past the botanical gardens 50 miles (80km?)

It seems to be a loop, the botanical gardens (west side of loop) being an hour away by car from SWCC, so the near (east) side of the loop must be closer?

To be fair - it's not my full name, and the avatar doesn't look that much like me.

I assume you have access to a car? Ive been to so e great trails at Afan Country Park. It has purpose built MTB trails of varying difficulty

Not sure of distance, but how about down the valley towards Ystradgynlais, turn right to Brynamman, then over the mountain past Herbert's quarry, across on the back road to Loanddeusant and Trecastle then back across past Cray to the main Swansea road and back to the Club. Longer version via Llandgadog and the A40
