This report gives stats and other information about the 2010 Festival and the Festival programme provides details of the rides.
The following gives a flavour of the event.
Some highlights.This took place as planned on Saturday morning. The sun shone and there was a good turn out. The formalities took place on time with a few words first from our Chairman Nick Guy who introduced Swansea's Director of Environment who in turn introduced WAG's Environment Minister Jane Davidson. Jane formally opened the Festival by cutting a red tape and also launched the Swansea Cycling Map.
Promptly at 11.00 the first two rides set off. There were around 20 on Ride 1, the short ride to Mumbles, and 27 on Ride 2, the "Gower Taster", including two uni-cyclists. These rides went well and set the scene for the rides to come.
Two splendid articles about the Festival have appeared in the Evening Post: the first on 16 Sept. and the second on 20 Sept..
In addition to food and drink there was music and songs from Andy of the Boys from the Hill and Scotty, a local singer/song writer. Later there was a "crazy auction" with prizes which included a T shirt signed by Colin Charvis (erstwhile Welsh Rugby captain and strong supporter of the Festival).
