ROUTE INFO
40km / 900vm
After leaving Llandovery riders will head into Crychan Forest after a steady road climb. The route includes plenty of excellent riding, but cuts out a few big climbs from the longer route. The routes split and rejoin within Crychan after 14km.
After leaving Crychan and a short road section there is one final big climb, before the final descent that is the same as previous years, plummeting riders down on a fast, fun descent with just the final kilometre back on roads to the event HQ.
There will be one feed station, approximately 20km distance.
54km / 1300vm
If 40km isn’t enough for you, then we have the 54km route which has 1300m of climbing. The longer route splits from the shorter route at the 14km marker.
After a steady road climb to begin the route heads into Crychan Forest for a big section that is completely off the roads. The hills are fairly frequent with a mix of longer but shallower climbs and a few steeper hills. There will be at least 3 different technical lines, meaning for those who are riding MTBs or fancy testing their skills on a CX bike there are plenty of places to do that. The final section remains the same as previous years with a fun, fast descent that has become a feature of the event..
A total of 2 feed stations, approximately – 20km & 40km distances.
