ITINERARY
Day 1
An early start from London and we head north through a rough and dramatic landscape of renowned Welsh valleys and 4 separate mountain ranges. In the midst of forested swooping singletrack, wide open doubletrack, and a center that boasts the most all weather singletrack in Wales, we refuel with our gourmet lunch and continue until well into the afternoon! Your weary legs are then transported to the front door of your private accommodation in Europe's youngest capital city. Choose to drink in the cosmopolitan spirit of Wales' dynamic waterfront and notable night life or absorb a more cultural experience at Cardiff Castle, Millennium Stadium, or the National Museum.

Day 2
After breakfast, we journey north to begin an early morning conquering of a trail in the heart of Wales. Today, celebrations begin (or end depending on your preference) with a tasting in the only distillery in Wales to legally distil a whisky spirit for over 100 years. With muscles and taste buds warmed up, we spend the rest of the day climbing mountains with bike, accompanied by open forests, challenging drops, soul-pushing climbs, moorland, countryside, and gourmet lunch and snack. This day ends in a location swimming in history and natural beauty. Not to mention the locals, pubs, and authentic Welsh cuisine!

Day 3
Good thing we have another day, because there's too much to see in the heart of Wales in one afternoon! After breakfast, we begin an early morning conquering of a trail in the heart of Wales. In the midst of some of the UK's finest mountain biking, we challenge another network of hilly trails with challenging ascents being rewarded by thrilling downhills. Efforts are rewarded when we head east for some highly deserved award winning fish and chips. Feeling daring? Try a Welsh delicacy: Laver Bread, or cockles perhaps? With full bellies and happy hearts we grudgingly return to our former lives, with a head full of real adventure and real memories as we bid a fond farewell to Wales. Not bad for a little mini break!
