Highway Adventures presents the Welsh Cycling Challenge in 2026, where you'll cycle the length of Wales over 3 days.
Cycling the length of Wales is approximately 210 miles and is not something to take lightly. However, as tough as it may be, the sense of achievement you'll feel when you reach Cardiff Bay is incomparable. It’s a fantastic way to see Wales, with breathtaking views of Welsh scenery along the way.
This trip is fully supported. You will be joined by John, who will cycle alongside you and handle navigation. John is an experienced cyclist who has completed this challenge multiple times. He is also a skilled bike mechanic in case repairs are needed. We will also meet you at checkpoints with our minibus and trailer, carrying food, water, parts, and more so you can cycle light.
This challenge is perfect for fundraising for your chosen charity. We can help promote your fundraiser across our social media channels, and we have plenty of tips to assist with raising money.
We will be departing from Builth Wells at 6 am latest on the 9th. If you'd prefer to arrive the day before, we can assist with transportation from train stations like Hereford or Merthyr Tydfil to Mid Wales. Secure parking is also available if traveling by car.

Day 1:
Depart for Holyhead at 6 am (approx. 3 hours). Your bikes will already be loaded to save time. Once there, we’ll unload and get you set up. We aim to set off between 9:30 and 10 am. On Day 1, you’ll cycle around 68 miles, with two checkpoints for refilling bottles and a lunch break. You’ll finish in Barmouth, where bikes will be stored in our trailer for the night, and you’ll check into your accommodation.
Day 2:
After breakfast, we’ll set off around 9:30 am. Day 2 involves approximately 73 miles of cycling, with two checkpoints and another lunch break. We’ll conclude the day back in Mid Wales, where you'll check into your hotel.
Day 3:
Another 9:30 am start. The third day covers roughly 70 miles—again, with checkpoints and a lunch stop. When you arrive at Cardiff Bay, a bottle of champagne will be waiting to celebrate your achievement! We’ll then head to a nearby Wetherspoon’s for food and drinks.
Day 4:
On the final day, it’s time to get you home. You can return with us on the bus to Mid Wales if you’ve traveled there by car, or we can assist in taking you to Cardiff train station, which has excellent connections.
Details are still to be confirmed. We typically offer twin rooms, but if you have specific requirements, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate.
If you’re interested in this trip but can’t make the dates, let us know — we may run the same trip on different dates.
For groups of 6 or more, we offer bespoke trips tailored to your preferences, including pickup locations, activities, duration, and costs.
If you’d like to book as part of a group, please contact us in advance to discuss group discounts.
