Autumn Epic
Event info
New 100mile version of the Classic route through the hills of central Wales marks the 15th year for the Epic. There are big, notable climbs along the way that are well loved/feared by participants plus a memorable tour of the Elan Valley lakes and dams.

EDIT - I wonder if this is coming from the realisation of "we can't drive through quickly now - because of those *other drivers*"? If so is it...
I've got the 900 lumen version of the front light. Even when the cam lever is closed properly, it doesn't grip the light well. The first one let...
