A number of you may (or may not) have fond memories from last year’s event, personally, it was probably the toughest ride I have ever done, over 8000 ft of elevation gain in around 85 miles 2015 route can be found here. I recall a number of conversations immediately following the ride along the lines of “would you do it again” to which the response was “no chance!”, then the same conversation a couple of weeks later when everyone forgot about the pain, the response was ”probably”.
Well here we are again, the date is set as Sunday 28th August 2016, so a nice Bank Holiday Monday to go for a recovery ride the day after. It would be great to get more entries this year, last year we had 14 I think. Here is Eleanor’s blog
The entries aren’t open until 1st March, at which point, WVCC are one of the 35 or so clubs who regularly enter, so we will be in phase 1. We will then have until 11th April to enter via a club login,. There is also a trophy for the club with the most finishers, this was won by Port Sunlight last year who had about 50 riders!!!.
More information can be found here, Wild Wales Challenge
Martin Whyard is in contact with the organisers and will let us have the login when he receives it.
I will post as an event on Facebook and the club calendar to keep it in mind and on the radar. I will post updates as and when receive them at the end Feb / early March.
