by Dave and Barbara Palmer
Publishers description
If you're looking for the best cycling opportunities in West Wales, this book has all the answers. It's the first book of mountain bike routes for this wonderful cycling area and it directs you to all of the most interesting, scenic and enjoyable routes. And nearly all of the cycling is off-road, because your safety is our top priority.
There are 20 rides - most are within the scope of the occasional cyclist, but more experienced mountain bikers will find plenty of rides to challenge them and many hills that are worth conquering. The view from the top of the Preseli Mountains is even more rewarding when you've got up there on two wheels and sheer determination ! See if you can make it up the hills which had the authors beaten !
This book is full of useful information about equipment, preparation and access to the rides. But as well as practical advice and clear instructions, Dave and Barbara share their experience and enjoyment of the routes in their How was it for us ? sections - perfect reading for the day ahead.
