This route is a hilly one taking in many river crossings and small country lanes and is a longer & hillier version of another Plaseey ( staples cafe )route ( not ideal for winter ride) but goes through Erdig Park as well.
The route is deliberately plotted via Staples cafe at Plaseey caravan park 33 miles & then passes the Two Doves cafe in Overton for an optional choice at 37 miles. Going via Plessy / Staples keeps our use of the A539 to 3/4 mile, as opposed to 3 miles direct to Two Doves via A539 & a lot more interesting. However we still have to do 3 miles on the A528, but it is not a bad fast A road.
The route then deliberately goes the interesting way to Tilston in order to provide a 2nd cafe stop at either Manorwood.

Do not be tempted to extent this route slightly, by a mile, toward New Brighton at 23 miles, up through ‘Stryt Y Weira’ lane, as it is a 19% bumpy narrow track lane that is often a mess and therefore no good if wet. Just not worth the trouble hence, this route cuts across just below into a series of interesting lanes down to Rueban, which is the only way through to be honest, withou adding a lot of miles to the cafe stop.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
