Event Summary

Event Overview

Yes, after enforced absence, the doyenne of West Wales sportives is back.  And how we've missed her.

To be held on the early spring Bank Holiday weekend, the Preseli Angel will, once again, set the standards for route planning, rider welfare and general good-eggness when it comes to putting on events for cyclists.  Oh, and value for money - never forget VFM!

Set in beautiful North Pembrokeshire, the Preseli Angel will offer varied terrain and spectacular coastal and mountain scenery.  Three challenging routes deliver fantastic and eminently do-able courses that will suit early season fitness levels.   And there will be cake.

Please note, the event has an established following so, as a niche, limited-number event, early entry is advised.  We will try to accommodate Entry on the Line (cash only, please), but no promises!

- Post-ride slurps 'n' munchies
- A sportive how it used be and how it should be*.
