People renting a holiday cottage in Wales this month might wish to head to Newtown, where they can cheer on top cyclists.
The third stage of the Tour of Britain cycling race is set to kick off on September 13th, where over 100 competitors will be taking part, including Olympic gold medallists Geraint Thomas and Bradley Wiggins, according to the Visit Wales Blog.
And the day before the race, there will be a Tour of Britain Fun Day held in Newtown Park, where families can join in with activities such as face painting, a bungee run, decorate-your-bike competitions and a funfair.
Evening entertainment is also set to include a hog roast, music and singing.
Furthermore, keen cyclists might like to try out the nearby mountain biking adventure trails while in the area, at locations like the Elan Valley and Llanwrtyd Wells, for example.
The Tour of Britain describes itself as the largest professional bicycle race in the UK and was attended by over a million roadside spectators in 2008.
