The TdS – Gravel Bike Ride is a 2 day ride from the North Wales / English Border (By Chester) Cutting its way through the Heart of Wales to reach the country’s most South Westerly point near St Davids. Taking in some world class breathtaking views on the way.
This ride is an amazing opportunity to ride the roads, unmade roads, tracks, green lanes and bridleways that link one corner of Wales to the polar opposite. The Scenery and remoteness of this route as it passes through the Hills, Mountains, Valleys and forests of North and Mid Wales are something you won’t forget. Before reaching the UK’s only Coastal National Park with sea views that are second to none.
The days will be long (120 miles) and challenging but you will be in great company with excellent support. We will be using gravel bikes, which allow us to make up time on the open roads, but also gives us the freedom to divert off the main routes and explore some of the least traveled wonders of Wales. Making this ride that little bit more special. If you haven’t got a Gravel Bike, No worries we have some available for hire.
The following is a list of what you can expect.
We aim to take as much of the hassle as possible out of the logistics for you. We will be able to pick you and your bike up on Friday from the Swansea area and drop you back here on Sunday Night/Monday Morning, So you do not have to worry about getting your car to North or West Wales you can drop it at Swansea and we’ll do the rest. If you live in the West, Mid, North Wales, Midlands or North England. We can discuss alternative arrangements.
Another bonus of the Corner to Corner Ride, Is it is not for profit and is part of Rugby Legend, Shane Williams MBE fundraising commitment for Velindre Cancer Centre. The original Tour de Shane was a lovely 70 mile sportive around the Pembrokeshire Coast. But with the overcrowded event calendar market and numerous similar rides, we wanted to offer something a bit more unique. More of a challenge that is infitting with the charity and a once in a lifetime experience and long lasting memory maker. We believe the Corner to Corner Gravel Bike does all of these,
Cost – £320 (£100 Deposit to secure place)
