Welcome to Cycling Councillor's unique guide to cycle rides in Wales.
This page brings together sportive, charity, audax and leisure rides across the country, with direct links to each event organiser's website for more information. In many cases online entry is available. All the events listed here are on-road, and none of them are races.
For cycle rides in England, please visit the related Cycle Rides Calendar 2013 page.
Please be aware that event dates, distances and start times may be subject to change - always check directly with the organisers before setting out. Enjoy your riding!
