2012 EDITION OF THE FOREST OF DEAN CLASSIC
Sunday May 6th 2012
Wheels in Wheels Events are proud to present the 2012 edition of this Classic sportive, with a new exciting start and finish at the New Monmouth Show grounds on the edge of the town.
The event has continued to expand and we have now out grown our original venue, and we would like to thank Monmouth County Council for all their support in the past 6 years.
The new Show Ground can accommodate all the parking free allowing us to open the event up to 2000 riders for 2012. We plan to keep the charm of the Marquee Trade Village but will have more permanent facilities for everyone at the event.
In 2012 we will be able to have camping on site and hopefully more activities on the Saturday at the same time as afternoon registration.
We will have extra trade support from Michelin, Shimano, and Clifbar and shortly to be announced a new event sponsor.
However with all these changes the one constant will be the 90mile very testing route through the Forest of Dean with over 8000ft of climbing and 20 recognised climbs for 2012.
All riders will receive a goody bag at the finish plus the usual Wheels in Wheels unique signage, 2 very well stocked feed points and full mechanical motorcycle backup enroute.
All riders will receive a replenishing meal on their return to the finish and certificates recording their times will be available within the hour.
Registration will be available on both days with 2pm to 6pm on Saturday 5th May and from 7am on Sunday 6th May. We will also accept entries on the day at £35.
The Show Ground will be sign posted from all major roads all weekend and those wishing to camp please contact us at bookings@wheelsinwheels.com
We look forward to seeing many of our regular riders plus many more with our new venue and facilities.
