The most laid back moorland romp of a ride in the UK, stunning views, enthusiastic and capable organisation, great campsite, free post ride meal, a tiny town chock full of real ale pubs, hunkered down under the eastern edge of Hergest Ridge. Loads of tracks opened for this one event due to a really nice bunch of landowners. For 2009 the 'over 80% offroad' ride has been altered to have even less road, but don’t worry we haven’t made it harder. We don't mind what speed you go, you're here to enjoy yourselves
In our 7th year, we will again be offering the choice of a long route and a shorter route, about 75k and 48k, across the unchanged moorland of East Radnorshire in the Welsh Marches, away from farmland, and with no forestry. The Rough Ride isn’t a race, but it is challenging - the longer route includes more than 7,000 feet of climbing and is fast descending. As most of the climbing comes early and late the shorter route has the higher percentage of climbing. You won't need to decide which route you want to follow until the day itself - you can decide during the ride, as both routes share the first section.
