BEYOND THE DYKE

Description

210km cycling event starting from Belbroughton, Worcesteshire. Controls at Craven Arms, Presteigne and Belbroughton., plus 3 information controls.

You can use E-Brevet proof of passage on this event.

It's best out west, as you head from Wobbly Worcestershire, through the badlands of The Marches and across the famous Offa's Dyke into the heart of Wales.

Beyond the Dyke was chosen via a poll of our 2022 autumn audaxers, probably because it is best out west. With varied countryside, the is a route to savour including the open Marches, deep valley clefts to the west of Knighton. The route passes underneath the magnificent castellated viaduct at Knucklas. Control locations at Craven Arms and sleepy Presteigne have a choice of cafes. E brevet will be available. Hot food and showers at the finish.
