    ABERGAVENNY'S Festival of Cycling last weekend has been hailed as the most successful yet, the biggest event of its' kind in Wales this year and, probably, across the UK.

    From Friday night's Get Connected Welsh Open Criteriums, which included a round of the national Elite Circuit Series for leading professional riders to Sunday's Tour of the Black Mountains Sportif, a massive 1,000 riders graced the roads of the town and Monmouthshire.

    There were so many enquiries about entry online at the Festival website that it could not take the traffic and had to be reloaded.

    And social networking sites went crazy after Friday night's outstanding town centre races, with professional teams Tweeting and Facebooking like fury.

    The Youth Races on Friday saw youngsters from right across the country compete in three big races, while the businessmen and women of Abergavenny took part in the Traders Race before the leading professionals got underway.

    Then, just hours later, fun riders lined-up in Bailey Park for the annual Iron Mountain Sportif, with over 300 entrants, while there were around the same number riding the following day.

    It was a massive effort from those involved, and Festival organiser Bill Owen praised everyone for making it a rousing success.

    Owen said: "With around a thousand riders taking part over the course of the weekend in the various races and rides, it was the biggest cycling event in Wales this year.

    I design and create silver jewellery. Each piece is unique, so you can be sure that there will be no other quite like it.


    Much of my work has a distinctly Celtic feel. While my designs are often influenced by my Welsh roots and the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside, my inspiration can just as easily come from simple shapes and textures, and of course YOU, the individual for whom I'm making.
