It's about a month now until this event so get your entries in now!
The "Avalon Sunrise 400" starts on the friday night closest in the calendar to the summer solstice, June the 18th.
The start point is a pub on the Blackdown Hills near Taunton. At pub closing time the riders will leave. Through the night they will ride along the north Devon coast and then see the dawn on the Somerset levels.
Then it's a quick trip across the Severn Bridge and back home.
It is being run under Audax UK rules.
This a long way to ride but it isn't a race. The challenge is to complete the course in less than 27 hours.
This is the same weekend as the Vätternrundan 300km in Sweden and the Ride 24. This is event is completely different but every bit as challenging and enjoyable.
Summary of information
Name of Event: Avalon Sunrise 400km
Start/Finish: Clayhidon, near Taunton
Distance: 413km
Entry Fee: £7 (yes seven+ insurance if you aren't CTC/BC/AUK member )

Great fun, my first and probably last 400. Interesting and varied route and assorted surfaces.
Luckily the rain held off and the first few hours were pain free! :twisted:
Nice friendly venue and even a band playing when you arrived back.0 -
