The is a great event for those escaping the drudgery of the work place or those living the life of riley.  The route is revised this year and goes anti-clockwise to improve variety and for a better view of the Brecons. The event start and finish has moved to Bewdley instead of Stourport.  E Brevet is available for those wanting to register controls on their phone. 

In audax lingo, Ferlix is an x-rated event. In other words, no gold plated facilities. Just turn up at the start, collect your brevet card, ride the route, collect your proofs of passage at the controls and send them to the organiser afterwards.  It may be basic but the event provides a great day out with fantastic views, great cafe stop potential and great audax camaraderie. 

Ferlix is a little known cantref or principality from medieval times, located in Mid-Wales. It is little known in terms of cycling either but it packs a punch in terms of gorgeous scenery, quiet lanes and hills.  This section is topped and tailed by some typical Herefordshire and Worcestershire countryside, providing diversity and interest. A roads are avoided wherever possible.
