The Brevet Cymru 400k - the route



It's time for my 400k qualifying ride for PBP....so I'm off to Wales this weekend for the Brevet Cymru, the 'sister ride' to the Bryan Chapman 600.  Like the 600 it starts in Chepstow; but this one first heads north to Haye on Wye for a second breakfast and then heads west for the coast.  The Faccombe4 last rode this back in 2009 and we're all gathered again this year for 24 hours of fun in the Wellh hills.  Its a lumpy ride with over 4000m of climbing to keep us keen!  Thw weather looks great, warm, maybe a chance of a light shower to cool us down. The only downside is that we'll have a stiff headwind as we head back from the coast to Chepstow. We'll just have to take it in turns on the front.  Ride report will follow next week but I will be tweeting on my way round which you can catch here on my blog. Texts of encouragement are always welcome!
