| EVENT TIPS |
| As part of the Real Ale festival
of mid Wales its a full on party weekend, up to 80 real ales on
tap.All the pubs and Hotels in the Town take part. |
| Its a whole lot more fun if you
get youself a bed for the night. Makes enjoying the nights alot
better. |
| There's plenty of Entertainment,
on Fri and Sat night. Stonecroft Inn normally has a great band, for
a good knees up. Then get over to the Neuud arms for abit of
Stair-surfing (you just have to see it) and a good late drink. |
| Dorm accom from £14 b&b
|
| Full board from £28-£37 |
| Each competitor gets some beer
tokens. Our usual format is the fitter idiots go for the 30 mile
route and enjoy the isolated beerstops on route. The fun lot in the
group have all our beer tokens and never make it past the first
checkpoint at 5 miles out. They never bother you anyway, its
normally drink all you like. |
| Great fun atmosphere sees many
non regular cyclists turn up, riders in caving and climbing helmets
on bikes hired from the nearby Cycles Irfon, are common. They all
have their own goal, some just to get drunk. |
