Bwlch y Groes Climb from Llanymawddwy
Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass
The route was part of the pilgrim's route from North West Wales to St David's in South Wales. A cross, which is humble in appearance, is not on a map. It can be found just below the summit at the junction of the road that leads down from Lake Vyrnwy. It was placed on the route as a symbol of faith and strength comforting travellers since medieval times.
Cycling the route is definitely not for the faint hearted!

Bwlch y Groes
Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass
The climb is almost 3km long with some quad burning gradients right to the last meter. It may not be for beginners or after a large meal but it is worth a bit of awkward hobbling in cleats to see what waits at the top.
