Iron Mountain Routes 2013

Written by Gary Baker

The Iron Mountain routes follow the best roads through the Brecon Beacons National Park incorporating some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the United Kingdon. This is the closest you will get to the feeling you will get of riding in the Alpes and Pyrenees from the sheer amount of steady climbing you will encounter. The Welsh version of the Etape du Tour!

There is a leisure route too, suitable for novices and families looking for a great day's cycling on quiet roads.
