Organiser's description

Whether you're an experienced cyclist looking to take on the challenging 'Cawr' or ‘Mynach’ rides, or perhaps fancy a more relaxing tour of Ceredigion on the 'Diafol' or 'Corrach', you'll be sure of one thing - one of the most spectacular rides in Great Britain!

As part of the week-long AberCycleFest, it’s time to get onto your bike and out into the countryside. We take you through well-known and lesser known beauty-spots, and, recognising that not everyone always wants huge mountains on their cycling routes, we have a range of 4 distances and difficulties to choose from - explore the challenging local terrain, where there's something for everyone.

Event start/finish is located at Aberystwyth Bandstand were each cyclists and volunteers receive a free hot meal. Each cyclist also receives a Continental gym bag, finishers medal and T-Shirt, whilst our volunteers look after everyone out on the road via our fantastic feedstops.
