Velothon-Wales
« on: August 14, 2014, 02:06:00 PM »
I just noticed this pop up on Pro Cycling:
http://www.velothon-wales.co.uk/en/

Quote
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 wonder if they'll incorporate the loo stop  ;D

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

OVW members - Please email/PM me if you would like the code.

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.

Think I'll just ride the route for free to take advantage of the traffic free roads. Should be a blast!

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.

Im in too and with the same name, Ogmore Valley Wheelers. Failed to get in earlier in the day for the 20% discount so have ended up paying the full fee.
