Story
Five Valley Sportive.
Ride One Of Wales Most Famous Cycle Race Routes...
This challenging and exciting Sportive is being held annually in aid of Prostate Cymru that helps raise awareness and support for men in Wales with Prostate Cancer.
The history of the Five Valleys route comes from an event which was started as a road race by the Port Talbot Wheelers in 1958 and grew to become one of the most famous races held in Wales. It was the only race in Wales which was given a Star Trophy status – this rating is now called Premier Calendar. The reason for its popularity was because it was such an arduous course taking in some of the most historical climbs in South Wales. Any donations to support and sponsor this fantastic journey would be gratefully welcomed. Thank you for helping us save Welsh lives!...
