Description

It is an event for experienced Randonneurs. A very audacious but breathtaking ride into the Brecon Beacons National Park, climbing up through the Black Mountain ranges.

Highlights include;
1. Descending the 200m from the top of the disused railway line from Blaenavon World Heritage Site / Big Pit National Mine Museum to Pontypool via the National Cycle Path.
2. Passing South through broad-leaf woodland with its splendid old mining and quarrying ruins and offers fantastic views east across the valley of Afon Llwyd.
3. Exploring the Wye Valley along the Symonds Yat to Monmouth Cycle Path.
4. Climbing the world-famous Tumble from the little-used Govilon track route.
5. An opportunity to visit Symonds Yat Rock and enjoy the fantastic views of the Wye Valley.
6. Cycling past the wonder of Llandegueth Reservoir. 7. Enjoy fine views of the New Severn Bridge as you ride through Shirenewton: mostly quiet lanes and minor roads with easy navigation.

Event Patch & Distance Medal available for purchase.
