Nice long climb out of Tal-y-Bont along a narrow forest road. Fantastic views when clear. Goes all the way to the Nant-y-Moch Reservoir. Part of the Aberystwyth Cycle Festival Sportive (Y Cawr and Y Mynach). Beautiful on a sunny day. Road surface not always great but does not detract from a great ride.
