Ride Start, we hope to start getting away at about 7.45am but please allow us to get a couple of photos at the start!
Parking has been allocated to us between the Institute and the SWALEC stadium.

Carten 100 beginnings...
From four riders in 2004 to over eighty in 2009, the challenge of riding the 100 miles from Cardiff to Tenby has just kept growing, with more and more friends, colleagues and acquaintances "having a go!"
Our philosophy is to get people back onto their bikes by cycling 100 miles, as well as enjoying a good day out followed by a celebratory drink or two in Tenby. It is a challenge, never a race, indeed we try to arrive in Tenby en masse. See some photographs of CARTEN 2009.
Ty Hafan has again been chosen as this year's benefitting charity.To answer some of your queries, this year we have added a Frequently Asked Questions page which will be updated regularly as new queries come in!
