RIDECYMRU RETURNS 11 - 13.09.2026

Take On the Wild Heart of Wales

RideCymru Returns 11 – 13.09.2026

Following a successful Pioneer ride in September 2025, RideCymru will return in 2026 at scale.

Kicking off in Llandudno on 11th September and finishing in Cardiff on the 13th, the 2026 edition of RideCymru will build upon the foundations set by our Pioneer riders, featuring a mix of hotel and basecamp accommodation to suit all budgets.

What’s Included?

From the moment you sign up, we’re there to prepare you for the ride.


Pre-Event

Bespoke Training Plans

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or a complete newcomer, we’re confident RideCymru is an achievable challenge given the right preparation. Our training plans will help you build your fitness throughout the year and get ready for the adventure.

Live Training & Preparation Webinars to Get You Ready

In the build-up to RideCymru, we’ll host regular webinars to help you stay on track when it comes to your training and preparation. Covering everything from weekly mileage to last-minute bike tweaks, these webinars will be broadcast live, but also shared as a recording with all participants.


On the Road

Fully Loaded Pit Stops

There will be two pitstops for you every day you are on the road to make sure you are fuelled and ready to tackle the ride head. With healthy snacks and sports nutrition as well as much-needed cake and pork pies, there really is something for everyone!

Turn-By-Turn Signposting

Navigation is the last thing you want to be worrying about on a challenge like RideCymru. Arrows marking the way are laid out every day – all you have to do is follow them.

On the off chance someone takes a wrong turn, we send out detailed route maps for each stage of the ride, with elevation profiles included to give you an idea of what lies in store. We also supply up-to-date GPX files in advance.

Highly Experienced Chaperone Riders

RideCymru is no walk in the park, and everyone goes through rough patches. Our RideCymru Chaperones are experienced cyclists responsible for ensuring you make it to basecamp in high spirits each day.

Whether you need to distract yourself with chat on a punishing climb or just switch off and draft, they’re on-hand to help, and can be easily spotted thanks to their unique chaperone jerseys.

Broom Wagon

Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Whilst we strive to ensure everyone completes each daily stage under their own power, in the event that you’re struggling our sweeper bus is on hand to help.


Food & Accommodation

All Meals Included

Nothing beats a good meal after a hard day’s riding. Our roaming basecamp is built to be a home away from home, with a range of hot meals, salads, and desserts to choose from, as well as the option of a well-earned drink or two. And with breakfast laid on each morning, you’ll never struggle to replace all the calories you’ll burn.

Private Tent Each Night

At the end of every day, you’ll have your very own private two-man tent waiting for you – a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of basecamp.

If you fancy some extra comforts, take a look at our Plus Package, which includes hotel accommodation after each stage.

Please note, this option covers Friday and Saturday nights only. You will need to book your own accommodation in Llandudno for Thursday night.

Showers, Chill-out Areas, Drying rooms, and More

With three days of intense riding, you need somewhere to relax and recuperate. That’s why basecamp isn’t just a campsite – it’s a village on wheels!

From hot showers and hairdryers to charging points and stretching areas, we provide you with everything you need to recover and achieve this immense challenge of a lifetime.


Medical & Mechanical Support

Roaming Paramedics

In the event of a medical emergency, paramedics will be out on the route ready to respond to any accident as soon as they possibly can. If anything happens out on the road, our team are just a phone call away.

Basecamp Medical Support

Waiting for you every day at basecamp will be our team of medics, there to help you out with any niggles, twinges or more serious problems you may have. Dedicated to helping each rider get safely back on the bike the next day, your well-being is their number one priority.

Fully Mobile Repair Service

The last thing anyone wants on a multi-stage epic like RideCymru is to have to deal with a broken bike. That’s why our complimentary mechanical service is available throughout the ride.

With mobile vans to help with on-the-road breakdowns such as chain and wheel issues, and heavy duty mechanical support at every pit stop, we do everything we can to keep your bike going all the way to the finish line.

Basecamp Mechanical Support

A team of mechanics will be available each evening in basecamp to cater to more serious bike issues. From twisted top tubes to busted bottom brackets, they’ve seen it all, and will be on hand to support you throughout RideCymru.


Add-Ons

Plus Package

For riders who don’t fancy spending nights under canvas, the Plus Package includes three nights of hotel accommodation in Llandudno, Machynlleth, and Brecon. Double or single occupancy rooms are available.

Merchandise

We want you to be able to remember this incredible ride for the rest of your life – what better way to do so than to purchase your very own official event merchandise?

Rider jerseys and other event merchandise are available to buy before, during and after the event via our online shop.
