Come out and see some of the UK’s top domestic riders battle it out on local roads!

On Sunday 5th March we are encouraging as many people as possible to come out, make some noise and cheer on riders from across the UK who will be taking on the club’s Tour of the Mining Valleys Road Race.

The event has sold out and promises to be an exciting race as the riders tackle the 75 mile race over a four lap course comprising Southgate, Llanfarian, Llanilar, Trawscoed, New Cross, Southgate before a finishing route of Llanafan Saw Mills, Pontrhydygroes, Devil’s Bridge, Pisgah, Capel Seion and Moriah, finishing between Moriah and Southgate (Penparcau).

To support the race there will be no Sunday club rides to encourage as many people as possible to be on the course cheering on the riders!

The race starts at 10:30am as the riders leave Aberystwyth Rugby Club and roll out onto the race circuit.

Mid Wales Go MTB Series

The series will provide opportunities for those new to racing or mountain biking to try an event on a marked course in a fun and friendly way. The routes will also be suitable for those more experienced in racing who want to keep their fitness up.

The classes will be :
U6, U8 (Youth E), U10 (Youth D), U12 (Youth C), U14 (Youth B), U16 (Youth A), O16 (Junior), Adult (Over 18)
