  1. The 2005 Flintshire Challenge
    Promoted by Flintshire Leisure Services and
    Birkenhead North End CC
    Sunday 9th October

    The 2005 Flintshire Challenge comprises 4 separate rides, and so offers
    something for everyone.

    Off-road Events
    a.. Sir y Fflint Mawr (50 miles) - a tough ride through the Clwydian
    hills, Moel Fammau and Moel Arthur. The route features scenic mountain
    tracks for which map reading and orienteering skills are required to
    navigate the unmarked way. Mountain bikes are considered advisable
    b.. Sir y Fflint Bach (23 miles) - a moderate ride through the minor roads
    and tracks around the hills above Mold. Map reading and some orienteering
    skills are required to navigate the unmarked way. Some surfaces are rough.
    Tourist Trials
    a.. Bala Circuit (77 miles) - taking in Bala, Llyn Brenig and London
    Bridge. On-road map reading skills required. Suitable for road bikes
    b.. Mold - Mills (40 miles) - going from Mold to the Eureka Café at Two
    Mills, Wirral, and returning. Some map reading skills required.
    All rides start and finish at Mold Sports Centre, Mold, Flintshire. Click to
    see a map showing the Sports Centre. Start is between 8am and 10am. Finish
    is by 6pm.

    Entry Fees
    All events except the Mold-Mills ride have the same fee:

    Before 18th September After 18th September
    Seniors £8.00 £10.00
    U-18 £5.00 £6.50

    The "Mold to Mills" ride still costs £5 or £6.50 for under-18's, but only
    costs £6.50 (£8.50 after 18 Sep) for Seniors.

    Entry fee includes basic course details and simple route map (OS maps
    advised); refreshments at Mold and en route; car park, toilets, showers and
    bike wash at Mold Sports Centre; and a commemorative item of the event for
    all finishers whether or not they complete the course.

    With 2 weeks notice, rather than 24 hours, I might have been tempted to
    do the Bala route. We've already entered for Graham Mills's Aqueduct
    100km out of Corwen in 2 weeks, but another trip to North Wales might
    have been nice.
