Cambrian Coast Sportive

Cycle Sportive , Wales – Saturday, 16 Sep 2017

Registered Sportive
Supported by Welsh Cycling

Event Summary

Event Overview

The most beautiful ride in the UK?

In this sparsely populated part of the country, well over half of each route is done on minor back roads with smooth tarmac and where cars are seldom seen allowing riders to ride happily side by side.

Highlights of the routes include the spectacular Cregennan Lake with its views over the Mawddach Estuary, the coastal road to Fairbourne (10km) right by the sea, the crossing of three estuary bridges and the mighty Bwlch y Groes (aka Hellfire Pass) which is the highest piece of tarmac in Wales and features in Simon Warren's '100 Greatest Cycling Climbs'.

The routes are comprehensively marshalled and sign-posted with 3 feed-stations (5 on the Long route and Big Dog) and riders benefit from electronic chip timing.

Take time to explore the routes, view the photos and register online via our simple rider entry form. We look forward to welcoming you in September 2017
