Start at Talybont by the Whiite lion pub. Full circle with a coffee at Nant Y Arian. Then fire track through Nant Y Arian or main Rd (A44) to Lovesgrove then turn for Bow St and then back to Talybont. Various options for stops or longer route to Aberystwyth and ride along the sea to Borth .

Favourite route in the area climbing from Tal y Bont past the reservoir and onto Ponterwyd. Decent surface road and always quiet.

Epic ride! I saw 1 car and that was parked on the side of the road and the road is so well paved you have hardly any issues when riding. Quite a few cattle grids to pass as you go but the climb is definitely worth it!

I came at it from Aberystwyth side and dropped down into talybont, still loads of climbing but once you're up top it is possibly the best place I have ever cycled.
