The Welsh Ride Thing will once again take place at the end of May over the Bank Holiday weekend. For those who don't know the WRT is a 3 day mountainbike ride through some of the most unspoilt and wild areas in the UK. Besides 3 days of riding there are also 2 nights out under the stars to be enjoyed/endured depending on your point of view.
Riders are given a series of grid references a month before the start. They then have 4 weeks to devise a route that will pass through all of these points, there's no right or wrong way to go ... just hard or a little easier.
This year we've decided to give out 2 sets of grid references. This should give less experienced riders the chance to try the WRT without it being too daunting. I'd estimate distances to be in the region of 150km for the shorter route and possibly 250km for the longer one. If the idea of an epic ride combined with 2 nights in the mountains and forests appeals then email me at stuart@forestfreeride.co.uk and I'll send you full details.
