Elan Epic
Why choose just one route when you can do them all? Head out from Cwmdauddwr ready for an epic 60km tour of the Elan & Claerwen Valleys. Cross open hills, glide through woodlands, bounce down bridleways and punch big ‘puddles’ whilst being treated to a stunning backdrop of six magnificent dams and reservoirs. The climbs set the scene and the descents pack the punchline to the stories you’ll tell your friends after completing your very own Elan Epic.

Planning on doing the Elan Epic ride with some friends in the next 3 or 4 weeks. We do adventure cross rides. Is there much technical MTB stuff on the route that require good skills or is it more cross country stuff ? Any experiences welcomed
