Hey Folks,

I've put together a 100 mile and 200 mile gravel grinder ITT event with a group start on 5 April 2014 - the "Wildcat Grr-avel 100" and the "Two Ton'O Gravel"

Although the 200 mile route is quite big miles early in the year, the idea is that it would serve as good preparation for the HT550. Anyone not up to the 200 will have the still challenging 100 mile route to go at. It runs on the many miles of generally excellent Welsh forest roads and stoned moorland tracks to offer good variety of riding.

It's a bit hilly - approximately 400m/1300ft climbing per 10 miles, so 4,000m for the Wildcat 100 and the 8,000m for the Two Ton route:



There's already good interest from a core UK riders who like this sort of thing, but the event is open to anyone from overseas who'd be looking to experience a bit of Welsh wilderness Smiley

All the info you need on the route and details for entry from 1 January 2014 available here: http://www.wildcatgear.co.uk/events

Cheers,

Ian
