Richard Parks, ex-Welsh rugby international, now world-record holding endurance athlete, is on six new adrenaline-filled adventures. He will be exploring the most extreme environments that his homeland of Wales has to offer, and will also be showing off its most stunning and wild landscapes.
Richard Parks is on a self-supported, three-day mountain bike trek across Mid Wales, creating a new off-road bike route through the heart of his home country. Starting in Knighton in the East, home of Offa’s Dyke, he’ll cycle to Barmouth on the West coast, riding up and over what’s referred to as the spine of Wales, the Cambrian Mountains. Riding through the valleys and forests of the Welsh countryside, he’ll have to tackle some of the toughest cycling terrain in the UK. This landscape has produced some of the top ranked cyclists in the world; Richard will be joined by a selection of them on this epic cross-country adventure.
