The Canal's 200th Anniversary had its official start on Friday with the 'Ringing of the Bells' at Pontymoile Basin near Pontypool. Hard-core cyclists from Abergavenny Cycle Group and Forgotten Landscapes at Blaenavon pedaled down to the event from Llanfoist, over frozen mud and narrowly avoiding sliding into the icy waters at times! They made it in the nick of time to hear the Bell being struck! Abergavenny Cycle Group will be running some Family Rides and 'Cycling for Softies' events later in the year - watch this space - come and join them when the weather is better!Read the BBC Wales report on the event
