I'm considering a rare visit to the UK next summer, June/July/August and poss Sept. As you seem to be in full racing season I'd thought I'd ask.
I'm looking for good long distance events 75km+ within travelling distance of Wrexham (2 hours).
What's good and why? Photos of courses would be good too. 😆
Over to you....
Shame you're not here at the end of May ... obviously the, Welsh Ride Thing is the best summer event for the discerning masochist 😉
Details? Dates are a bit flexible... for a good event, very flexible. 😀
It goes something a little like this.
Takes place last weekend (bank holiday) in May.
1 month before you will be sent a list of grid references and maps required, you'll then have a month to plan a route which passes through these grid references. This years routes averaged out to about 200km.
At around midday Sat you'll set off from the start ( no fanfare ) you will however be carrying everything you need for 3 days riding inc 2 nights out ... think, bivvy bag, tent, credit card, etc.
Return to start early afternoon on Mon with a great big smile and great stories to tell. Collect your very exclusive T shirt, eat cake and drink tea.
Job done.
I'm having a quick look at the blogs and some photos, looks good, thanks.
