0km 0km START You can start at any time between 8:00 and 9:30 - when you are ready you will need to scan your transponder to set the clock running and off you go. All riders must finish by 18:00 (i.e. Max 10hrs on route), when electronic timing will end. The event centre shuts at 18.30. There is a pay&display car park directly opposite the event car park - 2x£1 for the day. Free parking a few hundred yards away. WSW 235° 179m

47.32km 10.16km Rhayader - Feed Station This feed station is just prior to cut-off point. The food stops will have a range of cakes, fruit, water and savoury snacks. Note: you are strongly advised to carry some food of your own, as you may be in for a long day in the saddle. There are also shops and cafes in Rhayader should you need them. NOTE: If you fail to reach the first food stop in Rhayader at approx 58km by 12:30 you will be directed towards a short-cut route, which is approximately 25km shorter than the full route and cuts out the biggest single climb. If you arrive before 12:30 and would like to take the shorter route anyway, then please do - it will be clearly sign posted. WSW 234° 215m
