Event: 13 July 2013
Location: Bailey Park, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
Report: Iron Mountain Sportif
Shane Sutton returns to the scene of his professional win in the Grand Prix of Wales and the Milk Race when he tackles the Tumble mountain which figured in many races during his professional cycling career.
Why not make this the year you do something really special and challenge yourself to ride one of the distances of the sportive which is open to all abilities. The three distances cater for all, join Hugh Porter for the 20 mile leisure route, the 50 mile tough route or accompany Shane in the epic 100 mile ride.
The 100 includes the climb of the infamous Tumble Mountain which will be the main focus for the competitors in the Grand Prix of Wales the following day. Why not also in the process do something extra special and feel good raising money for the North Gwent Cardiac Rehabilitation and Aftercare Charity or a worthy cause of your choice.
