ETAPE LONG WEEKEND IN NORTH WALES

How about some on road cycling up some real mountains?

Over the late May bank holiday (28^th, 29^th and 30^th May), why not join us for a bit of Etape practice on the mountain roads of Snowdonia?

We are planning rides led by two local experts who are familiar with the best rides in the area. Ride lengths will range from 50 to around 100 miles. We plan to offer two grades of rides – Extremely tough, and hard! These rides are designed for riders training for the Etape du Tour and similar events. There will probably be one or two easy rides going too for leisure riders.

 Accommodation is at the Swallow falls Youth Hostel/Hotel complex. There is also a camp site available.

The majority of the group will be using the Youth Hostel accommodation (no age limit!) Bar meals and café meals are available. The town of Betws-y-Coed 2 miles away also has a good range of facilities. There are also many good walks in the area.

To secure a place, please email Ron@etape.org.uk, then send a cheque for £42.50 (which includes the hostel accommodation) made out to Etape.org.uk to:
