Ride to watch the Tour of Britain in Pontypool and on the Tumble.

We will be riding the B road from Pontypool to Blaenavon and then up to the Tumble.

This is a ride to watch the Tour of Britain.

A good pump, a spare inner tube and a small amount of cash for coffee stops are always a good idea. Plus a helmet for your safety.

We never leave anyone behind
