We've got 10 places to give away as part of our Get Britain Riding campaign. Winners will get the choice of either the 60km, 125km or 140km route, all of which will take you on a wonderfully scenic route with challenging climbs and spectacular roads.

With closed roads the whole way round, all you'll have to think about is pacing yourself and enjoying those views!

The Tumble is one of two main climbs on the route - Velothon Wales

Velothon Wales

Velothon Wales takes place on Sunday 8 July, and starts and ends in Cardiff.

The 140km sportive takes you along the Welsh coastline with sweeping views of the Bristol Channel before heading inland and uphill, climbing past the food station in Usk up to Abergavenny in the Brecon Beacons.

On the way home you'll ride past Pontypool and Caerphilly before your triumphant return to Cardiff city centre.

Over the course of the route you'll climb a total of 1,798m / 5,899ft, and along the way you'll have access to multiple feed stations and mechanical support to ensure you're fully fed and supported the whole way around.

For the competitive riders out there, there will be prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female riders, plus King and Queen of the Mountain challenges.

Before and after your ride you can peruse the event Expo, where there will be loads of the latest brands, gear and clothing.
