A Ride Through The Old World
This is a fully guided journey through the bones of Wales, across the Cambrian Mountains (supposedly the oldest in the world, whatever that actually means) and into Eryri (formerly Snowdonia), where the landscape shifts like the weather—desolate hills, misty lakes, winding coastlines, dense forests, and enough sheep to form their own government.
The route has a bit of everything. Mostly road (if you can call some of these Welsh "roads" actual roads), but expect a 60/40 split of tarmac and terrain that keeps things interesting. Single track, double track, sheep tracks, fireroads, fields, forests, the occasional bog that will have you questioning your life choices. And hills? Oh, there will be hills. Short, brutal, energy-draining climbs that make a pint at the end of the day taste even better.
It’s Wales in all its untamed glory.

Local Legends
Meet Tom & Kev, your two Welsh guides, part adventure junkies, part mechanics, and full-time experts in taking the scenic route. They’ll lead you through the best (and steepest) parts of Wales, crack jokes when your legs give out, and somehow always know where to find the next pint. If your bike breaks down, they’ve got you covered—just don’t expect sympathy if it was your fault.
The Road Less Traveled
Tourists flock to the same tired spots. You won’t. This route takes you through hidden valleys, misty backroads, and places that feel untouched by time.No tour buses, no crowds—just you, your bike, and Wales at its rawest.
Welsh Ales & Tales
A trip to Wales without a few late nights in a pub? Blasphemy. The places you’ll roll into aren’t just watering holes—they’re storytelling arenas, history lessons, and sometimes full-contact sports. Order a pint, settle in, and brace yourself for conversations that may or may not require translation.
Old World
Some places cling to the past—Wales is built on it. You’ll ride past ancient castles, cross centuries-old bridges, and share roads with more sheep than cars. The land here doesn’t just tell stories—it keeps secrets.By the time you leave, you’ll feel like part of the legend.

They all come with a small pouch with a multi-tool, tube, etc. However if you'd like to bring your own saddle bags our team will be able to set them up for you!
Unless the frame breaks, Tom can probably fix it 😊
