I've entered the Builth 55km MTB Half Marathon. I've never ridden that area and will be a good tester before the Dyfi Enduro.
Not decided if i'm driving down in the morning or going to use the free campground - be good to know if anyone else is planning to be there.

MTB Marathon – Builth Wells 14th April 2013:
Following the ELBNO on the evening of the 13th April 2013 the Sunday MTB Marathon is the daytime alternative or the extra ride for the real ‘hard core’ riders out there. The route will cover three different course lengths so that every rider can find the right course for the first event of the season:
Middle marathon – approx. 70km course
Half marathon - approx. 55km course
Mini marathon - approx. 28km course
For 2013 John Lloyd has chosen a route to surpass all routes! With his knowledge and experience he has chosen 3 courses designed to suit all abilities. Taking you up through Fforest Fields, Little Hill, Red Hill and Glascwm Hill,then returning via Llanbedr and Aberedw Hill. This route will show you the best of the single-track to be ridden in the area. Technical climbs and long sweeping descents will leave you tired but exhilarated, with over half the route being on single and dual tracks into the wilds of unspoilt Radnorshire, with its stunning views, this is a ride not to be missed.
Start time:
The MTB Marathon will start at approx 10.30am on Sunday the 14th April at Royal Welsh Showground.
Registration opens:
Saturday from 12.00pm – 8.00pm
