Velos' Indian summer secret

Description

200km cycling event starting from Tenby. Controls at Llandovery, Crymych and Tenby.

A challenging ride in the Towy and Teifi valleys interspersed with wild spectacular deserted Cambrian mountains and lots of rolling climbing on quiet roads

A classic Welsh audax taking advantage of the fine weather that often persists into autumn in the far West, same week as Ironman Wales. The route takes in quiet rural Carmarthenshire roads to Carmarthen before meandering up the Towy to Llandovery. From here the road goes upwards on its way west through the Cambrian mountains, eventually back to the Teifi and back over the Preselis 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.
