Looking for a good Snowdonia sportive - ideas?

rodgers73

I cant really afford the Etape Cymru and I think its booked out now, anyway. I had thought of doing the Etape Eyrii (sp?) but it clashes with the Ilkley White Rose Classic so I cant.

Does anyone know of any other good sportives in this area??

Thanks

Two Rivers Audax from Wem Shropshire £6 130km
Three Rivers Audax from Wem Shropshire £6 170km (2200m)
Four Rivers Audax from Wem Shropshire £6 200km (3150m)

The Three and Four Rivers nearly reach Snowdonia well Bala Lake but are great rides, last year they included the highest road pass in Wales the Bwlch-y-Groes from Lake Vyrnwy also back over the Berwyns and down the Tannat Valley classic stuff. Don't know this years routes yet but I do know the organiser. You would be hard pressed to find better value for your bucks.
