    Gold Route:
    Start: 9:00

    Distance: 100 miles/160km is run over the Men’s British Road Race Championship Course (same as Silver route) and extends to include the Tumble mountain.

    The most energetic of riders can extend the Silver Route to the Gold Route and will add a climb up the Tumble mountain to their ride. Riders will drop down over the summit of the Tumble, which will be used as the finish for Stage Three of the Tour of Britain this year, before turning right past the World Heritage Site of Blaenavon and towards Brynmawr.

    They cross the moors on the journey north before descending into Llangynir and then follow the route of the Monmouthshire Canal back to Bailey Park and the finish.

    If you choose to tackle the Tumble and ride the Gold Route, it’s worth thinking about where you want to start from.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
