Ty Hafan Taff Trail Cycle Challenge Sunday 7th September 2008

Join Ty Hafan for one of the most scenic and enjoyable cycling challenges that Wales has to offer, as we follow the historic Taff Trail from Brecon to Cardiff Bay.

The 55 mile route takes you along some of the most picturesque trails of the Welsh valleys and villages as you follow former railway lines, canal paths, tram roads, ride past stunning reservoirs and over viaducts.

For the less energetic, you can join the Taff Trail Challenge at Merthyr Tŷdfil for the 28 mile Half Taff where you can follow the rest of the route and join the Full Taff riders as you head to Cardiff Bay for your hero's or heroine's welcome.

You will be supported along the way by the team of safety marshals, and checkpoint teams who will keep you supplied with refreshments.

If you are taking up the Full Taff Challenge, then you might like to take up the “Scene it” photographic challenge. You’ll be provided with a camera and a list of clues relating to various landmarks and locations between Brecon and Cardiff, and the team that reaches the highest points total will win a fantastic team paintballing adventure, courtesy of Taskforce near Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan.

You will love the new competition for the Half Taff Challenge too, because it's time to “Bling Up Your Bike” and enter the best decorated bike competition. If your bike is judged to be the best and most eye catching on the day, then you will win a short break for a family of 4 which has been kindly donated by Pontins.

For both distances teams of four cyclists are invited to take up the challenge. You will need to be 16 years and above to enter the Full Taff, and 13 years and above for the Half Taff and entry is just £8.00 per team member.

Why not set your team a fundraising challenge too, for example £500 for the Full Taff and £250 for the Half Taff (contact us for smaller team requirements).

All participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt to wear on the day, and a specially designed bike disc to make you stand out along the way.

So, whether you are a serious rider, or someone who enjoys cycling for fun and wants to experience a sense of personal achievement, the Tŷ Hafan Taff Trail Cycle Challenge is for you.
