Another ‘fantastic’ Cardiff to Tenby ‘Carten100’ charity cycle ride returned once again on Saturday (May 10) with those taking part tackling stifling weather conditions - all for worthy causes.

While the main aim is to get people on their bikes without the pressure of it being a ‘race’ - a huge benefit of the event is the money riders raise for charity and worthy causes.

The start is from one of the most iconic Cardiff locations, Cardiff City Hall, with riders free to leave when ready, with be a rolling start from 7.30am.

Once again, this year for the event’s finish, Tenby High Street and Tudor Square, from the Crackwell Street junction to St Julian's Street was closed to traffic from 12 noon to 8pm.

With the ride finishing in the heart of the town, friends and families were able to cheer riders in safely, before they all head down to the harbour to the Scott’s Finish Pavilion to collect their finishers T-shirt and complimentary meal, as well as a deserved refreshment at the longest bar in Tenby!

“Another fantastic year for this great event. Super well organised and all done in a great spirit. We had a team of 8 who all made it safely over the line,” remarked one rider taking part.

Another supporter shared on social media: “Well done. They are all truly amazing and inspirational, and none so more than a 17-year-old boy from Port Talbot born with cerebral palsy who completed along with his dad. All the more amazing when they thought he’d never ride a bike let alone do this!

“So important to encourage all these wonderful events.”

The event takes place on the open road, with the route avoiding the high speed roads between Carmarthen and St. Clears, and the Red Roses bypass, supported by emergency support vans.
