    Tips

    Road cycling

    Climbing the Rhigos northwards from Treherbert is a classic, sustained South Wales Valleys ascent featuring scenic hairpin bends and panoramic views. Settle into an endurance rhythm for the long climb averaging around 5%, but be prepared for steeper ramps hitting 10-15%, particularly on the iconic hairpin section midway up. Experience the dramatic scenery as you rise above the Rhondda valley onto the open moorland. The road surface is generally good following major repairs completed in late 2024, allowing you to focus on conquering this rewarding climb.
