A message to all riders of the Wild Wales Challenge.

You may have wondered why the 2010 entry forms for this longstanding event have not been available. The Merseyside CTC has tried to move with current safety requirements that seem to attach themselves to events such as ours. Our safety record has been excellent and the huge success of this events speaks for itself. More riders seem to want to take part than we can possibly allow.

However, it is with deep regret that we have had to take the reluctant action to withdraw this event from the season's Challenge Calendar. It has been an extremely difficult decision to take and we have left it as long as we possibly could. We realise that a lot of people make their appropriate plans so we have decided now is time for this announcement.


With reference to a comment made by"nor750ton" on the C.T.C. forum, there is no truth in what is reported in the forum comment. Indeed, Emrys Jones himself was instrumental in obtaining all the information relating to health and safety of cycling events from CTC Headquarters. Safety is an important aspect of our longstanding event and it become apparent a difficult decision had to be made to cancel the Wild Wales.

Thank you all for supporting our previous events and circumstances permitting we will get it back where it belongs - In the Heart of Wales - not languishing in a pile of paperwork. Your Safety is our main objective and we take it seriously.

Mike Jones,
(Merseyside CTC President.)
