Description

A pleasantly challenging scenic ride in the Towy and Teifi valleys interspersed with wild spectacular deserted Cambrian mountains and lots of rolling climbing on quiet roads. A nice introduction to Welsh 200s
A classic Welsh audax taking advantage of the fine weather that often persists into autumn in the far West. Held 2 weeks before Ironman Wales, it also offers the ideal shakedown for local and visiting triathletes. The route takes in quiet well-surfaced roads to Carmarthen before heading up the Towy Valley to Llandovery. From here the road goes cuts through and over the Cambrian mountain chain, back to the Teifi Valley. The final climbing takes you back over the Preseli Mountains then south back to the start. This challenging mountainous 200 should see in autumn in style.
Numerous accommodation options are available for those wishing to stay longer in Welsh cycling nirvana. There are decent rail connections, as well as Irish ferry ports in Fishguard and Pembroke Dock, giving easy access from the East or West.
