The Devil Ride
UPDATE: 08/07/2009: ONLINE EVENT ENTRY NOW CLOSED
Date: 12th July 2009
The Devil Ride was a sell-out event in its first year in 2008. The feedback from riders on both routes has been fantastic...the weather for the first part of the ride aside! This year's event will start again from Builth Wells in mid Wales taking in the infamous Devil's Staircase.
The route itself was developed with local countryside consultant James Blair and is already being test-ridden by many eager volunteers!
As well as the Devil's Staircase, the 100 mile route takes in another 10 or more significant climbs, including some that may even be more challenging than the Staircase, to deliver in excess of 10,000ft of climbing.
However, this ride isn't all about big numbers - it will be a pretty tough event to be sure, but it hasn't been made hard just for the sake of it. As always, number one priority is the enjoyment factor. Riding in this area is great and the organiser is keen to showcase some of the best scenery on offer, while giving riders a day out to remember.
Start time: 08:30
Distance: 100 miles (Devil Ride) and 100km (Little Devil)
Entry fee: 25GBP
