After that we head for Bala Lake, on the way passing over the Hirnant Pass the highest point of the ride at 510m. We now take the road to Betws y Coed and then head for Anglesey crossing the Menai Bridge and finishing at Cemaes Bay on Anglesey the most northerly village in Wales. There's over 4600m of climbing and 340 km or 210 miles of riding to complete.
Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
The Ride Wales in a Day 340 team would like to help the Alzeimers Society in their goal to support people in their daily battle.
