Autumn Epic

Date: 4th October 2009

The Autumn Epic is a European-style cyclosportive, starting in Knighton in the Welsh Marches on 4th October 2008, and taking you through the superb scenery of the ancient county of Radnorshire.  

Now in its fifth year, the Epic is an ideal way to round off your season and make great use of that summer fitness! It is probably wise to enter very early for 2009 as entries filled up months in advance in previous years.

Radnorshire is near perfect cycling territory, with its unspoilt countryside and peaceful roads - you are in for a real treat if you haven"t ridden here before. You will be taken through some truly outstanding scenery, including hills, lakes, valleys and moorland. The ride climbs from the first mile, and highlights include the Elan Valley mountain road, Glascwm and Abbey Cwm Hir climbs.  

Distance: The route is just over 150km with a around 3000m of total climbing.   

Start time: 08:00

Entry fee: 25GBP
