Welcome to The Cambrian Audax, a classic and challenging event, starting from Herefordshire and heading west across the Cambrian Mountains then back. Stunning scenery, fantastic climbing and deserted Welsh roads await your cycling predilection.
This ride introduced me to the wider world of Audax in 2011, the terrain was tortuous but resistance was futile. It fell on hard times and didn’t even make the calendar last year. But, after encouragement from Philip Whiteman OTP and previous org Nige J. it returns revitalised for 2015! A classic never dies…
The Cambrian 210km
Revived and reinvigorated The Cambrian Classic Audax, a stunning 210km ride into Mid-Wales and back. We have a new HQ in Leominster at Bridge Street Sports Centre to improve accessibility and transport links. Otherwise an unchanged route with controls at The Great Oak Café Llanidloes, Machynlleth and Llanidloes. An arduous but breath-taking ride with stunning views of the Cambrian Mountains and reservoirs.
