Run by the Cross Cartel (Epic Cycles) out of Ludlow and already passed for this year ( and not something I'd attempt ) but the route is there to be used ... might be of interest to someone :)
https://blaenau600.co.uk/
They run several events throughout the year including the old Rough Ride

Presumably they've been mentioned before a few times... but it doesn't hurt to be reminded :)

This was just before Karl caught up with me for the second time and a short while before we hit the log flume!

Re: Blaenau 600
The GPX track on 1:50k was a bit vague at one point. Sadly when you zoomed in, it was clear.

We sure we're talking about the same "mid-Wales" as BB200 here? The dudes in those photos look way too clean!
And I thought Blaenau is "fronts"?
