As 2023 comes to a close, we can look back at an eventful (literally) year. With Mountains of the Merfynion making its debut, this year saw three events take place and almost 100 riders sign up.

Entries for Mountains of the Merfynion 2024 are now open! Like TPA24, entries are on a first-come basis. However, after the success of this year, we have increased the number of places to 50, so hopefully there will be room for everyone. Otherwise, the format for MOTM24 remains largely the same.

2023 is not yet over, but we’re already looking forward to 2024. The good news is that all three events will return and the provisional dates are now up on the website. The major change for next year is that TPA24 will move to August and run just before MOTM24. We’re currently in discussions with …
It’s with great sadness that we share that our partners at Wild Carrot have had to close their Chavenage cafe and glamping with immediate effect. They have been denied a lease by the Chavenage Estate and have had no choice but to shut down operations. First of all, our thoughts go out to the staff, …
Our first full calendar year of existence has come to a close and it’s time to look back at the highlights of this year. Despite global events, 2022 was a fantastic year of cycling, especially with our new event, the Wild West Country, bringing a host of new faces into the sport. But what made …
