I'm going to be working in the Cardiff area for a while soon (specifically Cardiff gate) and was thinking of taking my bike with me for some shortish rides in the evening. I assume the riding round there is excellent but can anyone recommend any specific routes around 20-30 miles? The area on the other side of the M4 looks nice on the map

    The lanes around the Vale of Glamorgan to the west of Cardiff are lovely for short spins. Something like this... http://www.strava.com/activities/142822092

    Search for a local cycling club, see if they''ve got a Facebook group and ask them.

    Loads of routes. You're free to check my Strava from last year to find some (I move to Bristol beginning of this year).

    For local clubs, you can't go wrong with Ajax.

    Ajax has over 400 members, which means there are always people about with which to go riding. Jif is very race-oriented and Cardiff Tri is well... Clue is in the name. There's also Cardiff 100 milers who are a good group, but there's not many about.

    constantly reavalueating the situation and altering the perceived parameters accordingly
