Tenby town centre roads to close for eight hours today
The Carten100 Cardiff to Tenby bike ride takes place today and sees around 2,000 cyclists travel from the capital to the popular Pembrokeshire resort with the aim of getting back on their bikes and raising thousands for charity.
The event, now in its 21st year, takes a fairly direct route from Cardiff to Tenby, using A-Roads, B-Roads and cycle tracks.
Once again for the event's finish this year, Tenby High Street and Tudor Square, from the Crackwell Street junction to St Julian's Street, will be closed to traffic from 12 noon to 8pm today.
Pembrokeshire County Council has installed temporary traffic lights at Crackwell Street and diversions will be in place, taking drivers along Crackwell Street instead f into the town centre.
Access for vehicles will be under the direction of event marshals or the police.
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the day.
The Carten100 is not a sportive or a timed race. It welcomes all levels of riders from experienced cyclists to those who are new or coming back to cycling as well as cyclists of all ages.
This year's event is raising funds for the Noah's Ark Children's Hospital Charity, which will be the recipients of riders' donations and sponsorship.
The Children's Hospital for Wales is based in Cardiff and its charity ensures that treatment and outcomes for children can continue to improve by funding new and innovative medical equipment and facilities.
It supports children and families through emotional support services and its much-loved play specialist team.
It invests in the future by providing technology that helps train the clinicians of tomorrow and strives to make the hospital a less frightening and more familiar place for children by sprinkling a little fun and happiness into hospital days.
