Cardiff is set to host a new UCI one-day pro race and closed-road sportive in June 2015. See you there!

I wouldn't usually entertain the idea of a local sportive for £55, but the idea of such an event with closed roads makes that cost more palatable.

You can pre-register your interest for those who might want to enter.

I believe the following codes both offer 20% off for pre-registrations.

Info from Welsh Cycling below.

Members of clubs affiliated to Welsh Cycling have been offered the chance to pre-register on the website: www.velothon-wales.co.uk using an exclusive code to receive a 20% discount during a ‘priority entry window’ which will allow you to enter a week before tickets go on sale to the general public. Please extend this offer to all members of your cycling club.

Post by: Steve Chapman on September 18, 2014, 06:50:05 PM: If you pre registered you should have had the email with a link to enter today. I have just entered with the team name Ogmore Valley Wheelers! if you enter the same then we should get the same start time.
