Bwlch Raid Group Social Ride 8th April 2012
A New Group Social Ride!
A very big THANK YOU to Fiona for organising a very successful Bwlch Raid Ride on Easter Sunday. We could not be there as we were moving our youngest daughter to London but the messages on the EGB Forum and OD Endurance Facebook page show just how many people enjoyed this new ride.

A brand new ride for 2012
organised by Fiona Griffiths.
Bwlch is on the A40 between Crickhowell and Brecon.
The venue is just before Bwlch on the left coming from
Crickhowell. There is good access for all vehicles (20 mins from
Abergavenny with a trailer).
Please note that Fiona has managed to secure additional space at the venue, so there is no longer a limit to the number of entries. However, we still recommend that you enter ahead of the day to guarantee your place.
The ride will go out over Buckland hill through Bwlch, crossing
the A40 and on to Bwlch Mountain. There is a pull up on to the
hill with views to Llangorse Lake and Pen a fan on your left and
the Black Mountains and the Sugar Loaf on your right. The bridle
path across the hill is wide and grassy, gently undulating
offering over 7km of possible canter. There are some options for
steep pulls up if you want extra fittening work. The route will
be marked and there will be a talk round, offering different
distances and difficulties.
Main route 20km with options for an additional 3km and 6km loops - all distances to be confirmed.
Fiona is hoping to have stewards on route (definitely on the
road crossing) and the ladies from her local RDA group will man
gates (5 in total) and make cakes and tea, hand out numbers etc.
Please note that this is a Group
Social Ride so your entry fee cheque should be payable to
Offa’s Dyke Group of Endurance GB.
