Description
Back for 2027, a 214k Severn Bridge Series GOLD GRIMPEUR AAA event.
Includes a free finishers rectangular route map patch for all riders.
A great day riding in Wales, with a few AAA points for your efforts.
Taking inspiration from the 10 Peaks Audacious Challenge The hilliest 200km in the calendar that runs in July - A flatter route exploring the exact locations with 1000m less climbing.
You will explore Tintern and the Wye Valley before more climbing and fine views take you near Devauden, followed by a flat-ish section to Abergavenny.
Next, you will head close to Longtown Castle after more climbing, with the opportunity to rest up at the Village Store.
More climbing follows to get you to Hay-on-Wye, and then youll ride the lumpy, remote, but beautiful sections Northwards, where youll then start the return leg.
You will then follow a valley with the stunning River Edw by your side before stopping for refreshments at Erwood Station Cafe.
Yet more climbs follow, including a big ascent in Hay-on-Wye, with Gospel Pass via the little-known, seldom-used steep-side lane.
Next, back to Abergavenny and then back to Devauden.
Devauden will serve you up its devilish Star Hill to finish off those tired legs.
All the hard work is then done, and you have an easy descent with views of the Severn Bridge and then a flat section to bring you back to Chepstow.
Mostly quiet lanes and minor roads with easy navigation.
Finish location - Boars Head Pub, Aust - Free parking and free camping tent/campervan Booking direct essential if staying overnight.
Free finishers patch for all finishers an Event Medal available for purchase £4.00
Full Route Details - PROVISIONAL ROUTE ONLY - GPS FILES WILL BE ON THIS EVENT PAGE POST ROUTE CHECK.
Entry on the Line EOL is available - £3 surcharge, payable by card or cash.
