Montgomery 'Madness' is an appropriate title for this route.
Aside from the obvious destination being the historic town
of Montgomery in Mid-Wales, the 'Madness' refers to the challenging
nature of this route. It is unrelentingly hilly with some
serious climbs and deserves its 3.5 Audax Altitude Award Points.
This route is not to be underestimated but there is benefit
for all that hard work, unrelentingly picturesque views of
stunning and varied countryside along with passage through
some attractive Georgian market towns. Pick a day with good
weather and this will be a ride to remember!
