House leads his JLT Condor team at the race, which remembers Angela, daughter of club life member Ken Williams, who sadly lost her fight against cancer at the age of 32 in 2005. Angela was a regular helper at Ystwyth Cycling Club events during her lifetime. The Madison-Genesis team bring a strong team of five including McNally and Commonwealth Games gold medallist Tom Scully.

The 75 mile course is based around the villages of Trawscoed and Pontrhydygroes on a 13 mile circuit that is ridden four times before the riders head back towards Aberystwyth via the fearsome Hafod climb from Pontrhydygroes to Devils Bridge, finishing near Southgate, 2 miles south of Aberystwyth at approximately 1.30pm.

Also entered are local professional riders Gruff Lewis and Stevie Williams, who both ride for the Pedal Heaven racing team whilst Josh Burns will also be one to watch. The field will also feature amateur riders and the Williams family have put up a cash prize for the first local amateur to finish the race.

The race rolls out from Aberystwyth Rugby Club at 10.30am.
