Tour of Pembroke

muttley_109

Is anyone else here riding the tour of pembroke?

I've signed up for the 100 mile route which i'm expecting to be a painful experience!

I have stupidly left it a bit late to find any accommodation though. Does anyone know of anywhere that has rooms available or is anyone else looking for somewhere to stay? Theres only two of us going but the only places I can find available sleep 6+ etc

I dont really fancy having to sleep in a tent the day before the ride and the night after the ride.

Thanks

Ben

Try searching celtic camping , it's 4 miles outside st David's , and has bunkhouses very friendly and reasonable. Did the 75 mile last year , painful is an understatement , it's a join the dots between as many 1:4 and 1:5 hills as possible. Mind you it was my first sportive as well

Hear that Muttley? Better get familiar with the view from the top of Caerphilly mountain

I have a 60 mile ride with 7000ft of climbing planned for sunday. In fact its a ride you did the other week, im just going to do two laps of it. Why dont you join me?

Anyone else here doing this this year? GPX files for the 2014 routes are up on the ToP site. I'm doing the 100 (or 109 to be exact!). It looks lumpier than a sack of lumpy things in lumpy sauce!

I'm doing it, though slightly concerned at how hard it is going to be as looking at the results no riders managed to get a gold time last year and only 2 riders managed it in 2012.
