Welcome once again to our web site which this year supports our next event scheduled for 7th June 2009.

From reaction on the day and subsequent email feedback etc, it is very apparent that our 2008 sportive was a success.  For examples of such feedback please click here.  The organisers are of course delighted, and thank all those who took part (more than 500 registered riders), coming from all parts of the U.K.  We are also indebted to all helpers on the day.  From the content of the emails you will see that our marshals etc have also received tremendous, well deserved praise.

So much for 2008.  As the saying goes, ‘you are only as good as your next event’.  The organisers are very aware of this and so their efforts in planning and executing 2009 will be no less intensive.

There are no plans to materially change the 2008 routes.  This will give all newcomers the chance to experience the pain and torture.  For those that rode in 2008, no change will not only give those that rode 100km the opportunity to ride the 200km route (and vice versa!), but everybody will no doubt be comparing their 2009 time with that achieved in 2008.

The organisers are committed to develop and improve upon the 2008 event and are currently arranging to introduce the following for 2009.

• Post Ride Meal and Liquid Refreshment
• Additional Route Signage and Marshalling
• Additional Route Vehicle Support
• Achievement Certificates

Our online entry will be open with effect from 1st October 2008.  We will be imposing a limit of 1300 riders so, to avoid disappointment, early registration is strongly recommended.

When registering, if you have not already done so it is important to enrol to receive our newsletters.  This will be our only means of communication.  Please also add our address to your list of contacts, in order to ensure that emails issued by us are not dumped into your junk mail.

We look forward to seeing you on 7th June 2009.

Finally, the organisers would very much like to raise funds for WALES AIR AMBULANCE as a bi-product of the event. Sponsorship is not mandatory, but any funds raised will be gratefully received. So go on, pester a few of your mates. We are sure that all concerned will take great satisfaction in donating to this very worthwhile organisation. None of us know when their service might be required for us and our families. Hopefully never. Please refer to Fundraising for further information.
