Time for new year's resolutions - how about christening a ride that's never been completed before. Since I took over the Cambrian Series they've grown from 20 routes to 35 with the addition of 10 100s, a 200 (at the request of an American randonneur who wanted one from Dolgellau and never rode it - although others have enjoyed the 2J), 2 400s (actual two halves of the new 800) and the mighty 1000km and a bit of the C10A. The last of the new hundreds was completed recently, leaving the following events still seeking their first rider, although all have been attempted.
CS4A: (AAA 5.50, 5,400m) Llangollen - Prestatyn - Mold - Conwy - Ffestiniog - Bala - Llanidloes - Machynlleth - Llangollen.
CS4E: (AAA 6.00, 6,000m) Brecon - Knighton - Welshpool - Bala - Machynlleth - Rhayader - Tregaron - Hay-on-Wye- Brecon
CS4F (AAA 6.75, 6,800m) Aberdare – Hay-on-Wye – Knighton – Llanidloes – Devils Bridge – Builth Wells – Aberaeron – Llandeilo – Aberdare (I tried and failed this one in 2016 so might be thinking about another go)
CS4G (AAA 6.75, 6,670m) Llanidloes – Bala - Montgomery – Corwen – Llansannan – Llanberis – Machynlleth - Llanidloes
CS6B: (AAA 0.00, 6,575m) Chepstow - Hay-on-Wye - Montgomery - Mold - Conwy - Ffestiniog - Montgomery – Llanwrtyd Wells – Hay-on-Wye - Chepstow. (ironically the flattest one of the lot!!)
PS - have just validated the first completed Cambrian ride of the 2017 season. Enjoy the ride!
