THE DAVE LLOYD MEGA CHALLENGE 2010
 
After three years of running this superb event , Dave and Terry Bell have been listening to all the feed back from the Sportivers who have participated in this "Challenge of all Challenges!" so far, and have made some subtle, yet significant changes to the 2010 route.
 
You neednt worry as all the major climbing challenges are still in the route.. The Shelf, The Horseshoe Pass, Worlds End, Moel Arthur, The Bwlch-y-Groes, The Stingers etc. PLUS you will have the extra "sting in the tail" this year that Dave knows you all want and thats the finish up the BWLCH PEN BARRAS !

Dave has changed the route from the bottom of the descent off Worlds End to the bottom of the Moel Arthur Climb to make this transitional part of the route a tad easier and also to by -pass Mold altogether. Dave has also left out the boring route along the valley to get to Dynas Mawddwy in order to take in the Hard side of the Bwlch-y-Groes, and now goes along the side of Bala Lake and up the other side of the Bwlch-y-Groes, thus knocking the Sportive distance down to 120 miles in total.. Thats 30 miles less than this year.
 
There will also only be two distances... The 100 mile route, which leaves out the Bwlch-y-Groes and heads straight to the "Stingers" from Bala, and the full route of 120 miles as already described.... Dave and Terry think this is the "Ultimate Route" for the "Mega Challenge" and should make everyone happy. We will also be marking the roads this year, so the debacle of the sabotaged signs wont be able to happen again!! There will be plenty of feeding stops and lots of other inovative "extras" yet to be anounced as Dave is working on some new ideas as we speak!!  WATCH THIS SPACE... And dont miss the best Sportive of the year in 2010!!
