Planning to ride this route at the weekend but the website versions seem to differ. The official website shows a route that goes to Magor and is 140km:

Yet the other versions of the route show a route that does not go as far east as Magor and is as a result shorter at 125km:

An actual gpx of someones route would be great to confirm what was actually ridden! email in profile.
Obviously I won't have the benefits of closed roads and know that some of them will be pretty busy but in general will it still be a decent ride?
You can download it from the site.

It was the 140k route, originally it was supposed to be the shorter one but there was an issue with some closures or summit like that so they took it up to 140k. I did ride it so talking from experience. I have the gpx but have absolutely no idea des how to send it to you
Thanks, I had downloaded it already but if you look at the two they differ for the reason Ashley mentions.
Spoke to a work colleague this morning who did it and suggested a few changes to get away from some of the bigger roads.
