Thousands cycle the beautiful island of Anglesey as the Tour de Môn storms into its third year!

Sunday 23rd August saw over 1,600 cyclists saddle up to tackle one of the 3 rides on offer at the Tour de Mon cycle sportive. The Mawr (103 miles), Canol (75 miles) and Bach (40 miles).

One of the main highlights of the mega popular sportive is the Flying Mile. The Flying Mile is the only competitive section of the Tour de Mon and gives the cyclists the chance to race against the clock and their fellow riders for a perfectly straight mile on the runway at RAF Valley.

The fastest male over the Flying Mile was Gerallt Roberts who recorded an outstanding time of 01:59, while the quickest female rider to complete the section was Steph Duits who achieved an equally impressive time of 02:12. Both cyclists received a bespoke prize and Roberts was presented with the Christopher Wright Memorial Award.

The Tour de Môn saw the start of the Ride Anglesey festival kick off in spectacular fashion. Ride Anglesey is a two-week festival of cycling events leading up to the Tour of Britain Grand Depart. Two highlights of the festival will be the free Taith de Teulu family ride in Amlwch and the Ride the Tour sportive. Click here to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the fantastic events coming up.

Always Aim High Events Director, event organiser and Anglesey resident, Nigel Kendrick was delighted with the success of the event:

“It’s been an unbelievable day, it’s been brilliant! The response we’ve had from cyclists and supporters has been incredible. It was also great to see so many children take part in the family cycle and children races.

It really is a fantastic way to start the Ride Anglesey festival. We’d like to thank NDA, Magnox, Cavendish Fluor Partnership and Anglesey County Council for their support. The Festival really gathers momentum now with loads of different cycling activities taking place over the next couple of weeks”

Kendrick added:

“As an Anglesey resident it’s great to see so many people coming from afar and seeing how fantastic this island is. The majority of these people have stayed in local accommodation, eaten at nearby restaurants and spent their money in other Anglesey businesses, which has an absolutely huge positive impact on the local economy.”

Events Manager Rob Samuel echoed Kendrick’s comments:

“It’s been a great day, seeing so many people here has been incredible. Despite the challenging conditions the feedback has once again been fantastic. Without the amazing team of staff, marshals and volunteers we really couldn’t make this happen, therefore, a massive thanks must go out to all of them. I’d also like to thank our event partners; Anglesey County Council, Magnox, NDA, Cavendish Fluor Partnership, Chain Reaction Cycles, High 5, Pentraeth Group, Full of Beans, Jones o Gymru, Superfeet, Kon-x, Morrisons, The Bulkley Hotel and Tre-ysgawen Hall for their support.”

Full Tour de Mon Bach, Canol and Mawr times can be found via the TDL Event Services site , with further info on the Tour de Mon and all of the Always Aim High Events line-up via www.alwaysaimhighevents.com

Anglesey Tour de Mon . . . Ups, Downs and a well deserved Bacon & Egg Barm!

TIME: 7am LOCATION: Holyhead seafront CONDITIONS: 20mph+ south westerly blowing a fine drizzle into your face….

That Ladies and Gentlemen was what greeted Wild Bikes members Mike H and Nige W on the start line of the Mawr route at this years Tour de Mon.

Ahead lay 6,000ft of ascent and 107 miles of riding around Anglesey taking in Trearddur Bay (twice), Mona Airfield for the Flying Mile, Niwbwrch (Newborough), Llanfair PG, a quick visit to the mainland via the original Menai Bridge, Beaumaris, Llandonna, Moelfre, Parys (or Copper) Mountain, Amlwch, Bull Bay and Cemeas before heading inland to Llanddeusant and the final feed station at Melin Llynnon from where it is 17miles to home via Valley Crossroads, Trearddur and the coast road to Holyhead.

A few miles out from Mona, Mike picked up a thorn branch in his front tyre. This proved to be a remarkably airtight seal and we reached Mona and completed the Flying Mile (more in a moment) without incident. A closer inspection of the tyre at the Mona feed station led to debate as to whether the thorn could be left in place…… the sage nod from the gentleman with all the “scrambled egg” on his shoulders when it was decided to replace the tube showed this was the right decision. Fighter jet or Surly bike, no equipment was going to leave his base if not road (or air) worthy.

The organiser’s had taken pity on the riders and rejigged the Flying Mile so the timed run was with the wind on our backs. Hands on the tops, just chatting  (no point in killing yourself with 80 odd miles still to go!) and with Garmins showing 25mph+ Mike and I were timed at 2min56sec and 2min57 sec respectively. It was a rude shock to turn back into the wind and almost come to a dead stop……..

On departing Mona it was next stop Beaumaris. Crossing the Menai Bridge another Wild Bikes shirt was spotted. And at the Bulkeley Hotel (a posh feed station this one) Ashtin appeared. He also seemed to be bringing better weather with him as the wind gradually reduced throughout the rest of the day and the sun made the odd appearance.

Rain capes and leg/knee warmers removed, it was three Wild Bikers that left Beaumaris to tackle the second half of the route. This very rapidly became two as Ashtin disappeared into the distance with consummate ease when we hit the first incline. Club riders hey…….

Having got over the steep gradients around Llandonna and enjoyed some of the descents towards Moelfre it was time to top up the bottles and take on more Barra Brith at Moelfre Library before heading out for probably the most difficult section of the ride, from Moelfre to Llanddeusant. I am not convinced there is a piece of flat road in Anglesey; if the rolling nature thus far could be classed as “U” or “PG” in places it was now full on “R18”. It’s not the two “draggy” climbs of City Dulas or Parys Mountain but the country lanes. They are unrelenting in their “ups and downs”. Being a big chap, speed is my friend in this terrain and Mike who is quite happy to climb anything must have been fed up to hear my shouts from behind at the top of each rise, “use the speed” – once in front I was able to use the free speed on many of the descents to crest or nearly crest the following rise……..a lot easier on the legs!!

Before we knew it, we were at the final feed stop and heading back to Holyhead. The final sting in the tail is the coast road from Trearrdur to Holyhead; another R18 rated piece of rolling road especially on tired legs.

In a gentle breeze and weak sunshine, we crossed the line 8hrs19mins08secs after leaving it. Commemorative medals donned, we celebrated with a Bacon & Egg barm!

This was my third Tour de Mon; it’s a great ride, well organised and in a beautiful part of the world.

L-29 delfin trainer jet.

The L-29 Delfin trainer jet is a Soviet military plane produced in Czechoslovakia between 1963 and 1974. At its time, the L-29 was the primary trainer jet for the Soviet Air Force’s pilots .

Its turbojet engine producing close to 9kN of thrust allows the L-29 to climb at an impressive rate of 14m/s. The plane top speed is 820 km/h , similar to most conventional airliners.

Put-in Tours invites you to the copilot seat of this legendary training jet for a unique and unforgettable flying experience .

L-39 Albatros fighter jet

The L-39 Albatros has been developed to succeed the L-29 Delfin as primary trainer jet for the Soviet Air Forces from the early 1970s on to the late 1990s.

Additionally to its versatile trainer role, the L39 was being used as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft and in combat as a light ground attack aircraft .

The L-39 is powered by a turbofan engine, developing close to 17kN of thrust. The jet rate of climb is a skyrocketing 21m/s and its top speed a whooshing 910km/h .

With its impressive performances, the L-39 is the perfect ride for your most extreme flying experience in Moscow.

Tour de Mon Tour de Force

This Sunday over 1000 cyclists descended on Anglesey for the latest instalment of the Tour de Mon cycle sportive

The weather at the start line was ideal for cycling with minimal wind and beautiful blue skies. Conditions out on the course were challenging with headwinds and side winds, but the rain stayed away.

Each of the three routes - the Mawr, Canol and Bach - saw riders experience some of the most picturesque country and coastal roads in the UK. Always Aim High’s famous marshals and feed stations were on hand the whole time as riders passed through the likes of Trearddur Bay, Beaumaris, Moelfre and Menai Bridge.

The 2019 Tour de Mon returned to the airfield at RAF Valley with the hugely popular ‘Flying Mile’, sponsored by Kingud Biodegradable Bike Cleaning products. All of the riders were given the chance to pit themselves against the clock on the mile-long timed section along the runway at the home of the world-famous Red Arrows.

The fastest times over the Kingud ‘Flying Mile’ were Naomi Wright for the women with a time of 00:02:37, and Robert Flack for the men with a time of 00:02:18

Always Aim High Director, Tim Lloyd said: “The Tour de Mon really is a favourite with our participants and it’s definitely one of ours. It’s great to see such a wide range of cyclists coming to Anglesey to take on such a beautiful ride.

“The undulating course, challenging headwinds didn’t stop our participants having an amazing time. The views were incredible as always, just like the atmosphere at the event village and overwhelming support from the local community on the course. The Tour de Môn is definitely the jewel in the crown of Welsh cycle sportives.”

“As always, our marshals and volunteers make our events what they are and we’d like to thank them all for sparing their time. We’d also like to thank RAF Valley for the use of the Airfield, and the for the volunteers for giving their time to help out at the Flying Mile, the sportive partners and Anglesey County Council for making the event possible.”

Images from the 2019 Tour de Môn are available now from Mel Parry Event Images .
