This year sees the inaugural Velothon-Wales which is part of the UCI Majors. It takes place on 14th June over 14oKm (87miles) of closed roads in South Wales and encompasses the infamous Tumble climb.
Dr Adrian Jones along with two close friends are riding in Velothon-Wales to raise money for the International Glaucoma Association (IGA). The IGA is a fantastic UK based organisation that provided funding for glaucoma research as well as providing help and support to sufferers of the disease.
