| The Biggest bike ride in Wales returns for 2010. Join the british Heart Foundation and over a 1000 participants at the popular Gower Bike Ride and enjoy a great day out!
Choose from two routes, 16 and 29 miles, around the beautiful Gower Peninsula, starting and finishing at the Recreation Ground on Mumbles Road (next to St Helen's Ground), Swansea. The 16 mile route covers over half its distance on the cycle path from Gowerton to Blackpill, whilst the 29 mile route ventures further West.
Starting between 9.00am and 10.00am, this is not a race, take your time and enjoy all the Gower countryside has to offer. All we ask is that you are back at the finish line by 4.00pm to collect your medal and goodie bag.
Entry fee's are £10 for adults and £5 for children. A higher fee will apply to those registered on the day.
For any further information please contact 0800 169 3672 or visit www.bhf.org.uk/gower |

| Sarn Helen is the name given to a number of Wales’ Roman roads. The roads were built after the conquest of the Welsh tribes to create a network of all-weather routes linking the Romans' forts. "Sarn Helen" is a misnomer meaning Helen's Causeway or Road and refers to Elen, a Romano-British princess and the wife of the emperor of Britain, Maximus. Whilst she is fabled to have got Maximus to build roads across Wales to help defend it, it is considered that Elen is from a much later period than the roads themselves. These roads suggest a route from a fort in Neath in South Wales all the way up to a fort near Conwy in the north. Parts of Sarn Helen (such as this) are off-road and make for interesting MTBing, but much of Sarn Helen is tarmac or obliterated. However, I’m inspired by the idea of a south to north route split into bite sized chunks, which follows Sarn Helen or haunts its surrounding countrtside and visits the Roman sites along the way. See plot #1 for a description of this section. WIP. |

| I had the idea years ago with a couple of mates to run an off-road version of the road based Gower Bike Ride. This is the route I'm toying with - still very much under construction and with much of it as yet unresearched. A Work in Progress. Comments welcomed. I'm having some issues with this route at the moment. Firstly, some of the tracks are very much dry weather tracks and suffer terribly in the wet. Secondly, there are significant portions that are not strictly legal cycle routes - possibly and issue if I try to make this an organised event. |
