Two beautiful and peaceful one-day rides along the most wonderful off-road routes South Wales has to offer, from Newport to Brecon on day 1 and back via a different route the following day. The vast majority of the rides is on canal towpaths or disused railway lines and allows you to take in the amazing scenery and natural surroundings in the most relaxed way possible. Join us for either day or take on both if you prefer.
Each day is fully supported with our van, group-lead riders to accommodate different paces and fitness levels, mid-morning and mid-afternoon feed stations with home-made food and drink, plus a tasty lunch-stop in a local cafe or tea rooms.
£1 from each day entered goes to the three local charities we're supporting in 2019 and we'll share how you can use the events to fundraise for one or all of them if you wish to.
Only 30 places per day. Sale price of £57 per day valid until 7th December (standard price £75).

Extra Information
All balance cycling events are designed to feel like a cross between a sportif and a touring holiday. Ultimately, we aim to provide you with a highly sociable group ride where you get to make great new friends whilst also enjoying the best scenery that Britain has to offer.
Rides are fully supported with our van for first aid, mechanical assistance and tasty feed stations, as well as having support riders to help all speeds and fitness levels. Tasty lunches at tea rooms or cafes are included and we organise evening meals (not included in the event entry fee) if you want to socialise with new friends and reminisce about the adventures of the day. All riders receive medals and we give out spot prizes during evening meals for special highlights of the day.
