Preseli Angel 2024
Sunday, 5th May
(see below for more detail)

The 2023 results are here...

2023 post-event message from Velo Teifi:

Our sincere thanks to all those lovely people that turned up to support our little event this year - your good humour, apparent appreciation and kind words on the day make the long hours of planning, route marking, cake making, Tesco-shopping, sandwich-spreading, tea-brewing, Broom Wagon lurking, finish-line loitering, route clearing and number-crunching all worthwhile.

In these days of data, power, numbers, mapping and general digital wotnot, I'm never quite sure if our 'traditional' approach to Sportives will be well-received or provoke ridicule!

We hope to see you in 2024.

The doyenne of West Wales sportives, re-launched in 2023 to much acclaim (well, Clive, Nia & Steve liked it).

​

Retaining its established spot on the early spring Bank Holiday weekend, the Preseli Angel will, once again, set the standards for route planning, rider welfare and general good-eggness when it comes to putting on events for cyclists.  Oh, and value for money - never forget VFM!

 

Set in beautiful North Pembrokeshire, the Preseli Angel offers varied terrain and spectacular coastal and mountain scenery.  Three challenging routes deliver fantastic and eminently do-able courses that will suit early season fitness levels.   And there will be cake.
