Builth Bike Bash participants rode the equivalent of Lands End to John O Groats in under three hours

Builth Bike Bash 2026, held recently was a fantastic success, nearly 150 riders smashed the target of riding from Lands End to John o Groats in under three hours!

There were 148 participants who between them managed to ride all the way to John o Groats and halfway back again! A total distance of 1586 miles.

As always, at the event that has been running since 2011, several generations of families rode, picnicked and generally had a good day out.

With participants from two years old to 70+ years taking part.

The Barista Bull Coffee Bike provided great coffee and amazing milkshakes, which helped to keep everyone going.

Everyone who attended was treated to water and fruit donated by Asda and Co-op.

The event was supported by a grant from the Heart of Wales Trainline, which meant that participants received a bright orange frisbee.

The committee would like to thank Anna and Dawn from Slimming World who came along and helped with the mass start and raffle.

Thanks also need to go to all the volunteers, especially Steve Evans who again did a marvellous job of recording all the laps and keeping everyone updated with the running total throughout the day.
