Swansea is in for a big weekend of cycling as two major bike ride events are set to take place. The Gower Bike Ride and Swansea Gower Sportive will challenge riders on Sunday, June 25, along different routes suited for different abilities.
For nearly 40 years the Gower Bike Ride has been part of Swansea’s summer calendar. This year, there will be two routes of 12 and 35 miles for the developing cyclist or those who are rediscovering their love of cycling. Both routes are all on road and are said to be suitable for all types of bike. The highlights of the 35-mile route will include Welsh Moor and North Gower with just over 2,000 feet of climbing.
Swansea Gower Sportive, meanwhile, will include a comprehensive tour of the Gower Peninsula with a new route for 2023, featuring highlights which include Langland, Caswell, Welsh Moor, Rhossili, Port Eynon and Oxwich. The sportive is a total distance of 63 miles and over 4,000 feet of climbing for the experienced rider.
