Blaenau 600

Post by godivatrailrider »

Run by the Cross Cartel (Epic Cycles) out of Ludlow :shock: 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 :)

They run several events throughout the year including the old Rough Ride
https://thecrosscartel.com/

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

My first thought was "stuff that it uses the strata florida" :lol:
But looking closely it follows the parallel fire road - good choice!

At one point I thought I was going onto that beautiful looking strip of track... and then I realised my GPS had screwed up.

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

The GPX track on 1:50k was a bit vague at one point. Sadly when you zoomed in, it was clear. Plus there was no way Stu would have sent us the easy way :grin:

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"?
