New for 2012 is a free optional Technique Course prior to the holiday to brush up on your skills and meet the rest of the riders. This course will take place on Sunday July 1st.

Starting at Cannock Chase, this holiday takes in 140 Miles (225 KM), tackling almost 16,000 feet (4,900 M) of ascending and more than 16,000 feet (4,900 M) of descending before riding into Aberystwyth on the Welsh West Coast 4 days later. This equates to an average day of almost 35 miles of mainly off-road riding.

The cost of this holiday includes 4 nights accommodation, breakfast, lunch and a support vehicle that carries the riders luggage between accommodation. Transport back to Cannock Chase is also included on the Sunday morning.

Secure lockup is provided at all accommodation and any repairs or maintenance can be carried out if needed.

The route heads West from Cannock Chase and takes in some breath-taking scenery, including The Long Mynd Mountain (complete with Minton Batch!) before heading into the vast Mid Wales mountains and winding it's way to the Pier at Aberystwyth. The Saturday night will then be a celebration of your achievment and the first pint is on us!

The accommodation is Hostel based, therefore, please bear in mind that you may be sharing rooms (mixed sex) in a dormatory format. Evening meals are not included in the cost.
