Abergavenny Cycling Festival
A THOUSAND THANKS FOR THE BIGGEST CYCLING EVENT IN WALES
ABERGAVENNY'S Festival of Cycling, the biggest event of its' kind in Wales this year and, probably, across the UK.
There were so many enquiries about entry online at the Festival website that it could not take the traffic and had to be reloaded.
Festival organiser Bill Owen praised everyone for making it a rousing success.
Owen said: "With around a thousand riders taking part over the course of the weekend in the various races and rides, it was the biggest cycling event in Wales in 2011.
"We knew it would be big this year, with the addition of the Tour of the Black Mountains to the programme, but we have been extremely and pleasantly surprised by the numbers who have attended and watched this year's Festival of Cycling.
"We incorporated it again with the Abergavenny Carnival of Saturday and, other than one big downpour of rain at around 3pm, it went very well.
"Once again, it was superb to work with the people who have made this such a success. Our particular thanks go again to the police and the marshals who were a constant help throughout the weekend.
"We would also like to thank the business people from across Abergavenny who have helped build our weekend into a real fixture on the town's sporting and social calendar in the last four years.
"Also our big thanks to Abergavenny Town Council and all the sponsors of the weekend.
"And, of course, there are the public who turned out in tremendous numbers both to watch and participate in our events and rides."
The Welsh Open Criterium will be shown on Sky Sports next Tuesday (July 19).
All provisional results from the Iron Mountain Sportif's rides on Saturday are available now on website link Official final results will be posted towards the end of the week.
