May 19, 2024,Ebbw Vale loop via The Blorenge, Clydach, Crickhowell, Talybont and Trefil....on an e-bike

A long ride requiring intermediate skills and good fitness levels. Lots of climbing and some beautiful descents. Will push your e-bike battery to the limit (750 battery). Be prepared to conserve battery power when you can. This ride has it all!
