Aberystwyth Cycling Festival at Aberystwyth

With some of Britain’s top cyclists making a rare appearance in Mid Wales, Abercyclefest is a celebration of cycling including Aberystwyth town centre Criterium Racing, Downhill mountain biking, Hill Climb and a mass participation ride.

Cycle festival events include:

WELSH CIRCUIT RACE CHAMPIONSHIPS & ABERYSTWYTH PROMENADE CRITERIUMS
The roads of Aberystwyth are closed for bike racing when the Welsh Circuit Race Championships hits town! The award winning course circumnavigates the iconic 19th century Old College, the 13th century Castle, the Victorian Pier and also brushes the town centre.

Cyclists from as young as 8 years old also have their chance to race in Aberystwyth Town Centre. Race day starts at 10am with various races for local primary school children, followed a race for beginner ladies, and then a Fancy Dress Parade. Finally the Welsh Circuit Race Championships will be held throughout the afternoon and evening.

WELSH WILD WEST SPORTIVE
After watching the town centre criteriums races on Saturday evening around the streets of Aberystwyth, it’s time to get out into the countryside and relax on Sunday.

Explore the challenging local terrain on one of four routes which provide something for everyone. Whether you're an experienced cyclist looking to take on the challenging 'Cawr' or ‘Mynach’ rides, or perhaps fancy a more relaxing tour of Ceredigion on the 'Diafol' or 'Corrach', you'll be sure of one thing - one of the most spectacular rides in Great Britain!
