Sunrise Express and Snowdrop Express Audaxes

...the only audax you should be thinking about this winter!


A superb event to help you blow out those winter cobwebs, get some winter training or merely enjoy a leisurely ride through the crisp and hopefully sunny weather. The routes start at Hartlebury in North Worcestershire and head off to circuit the Vale of Evesham


This is a popular audax with around 200 riders and only one of a few at this time of year. So make sure you book a place as soon as you can, you can do this online and for only £7 (£5 for AUK, BC or CTC members).

    On it, hopefully when the info arrives... :D

    Is the Cotswold Audax on the 19th June? It isn't on the Audax calendar.

    I dropped an e-mail to George and he confirmed that it is provisionally set for the 19th June as you mentioned. Sadly, I will be away :cry:

    Only thirty or so places left on each of the two rides. Not long until I have to close off the entry system.

    I hope to get the route cards off to tomorrow via e-mail.

    Evesham Cafe have already bought in their cement mixer to produce 1cwt of their cyclist's bread pudding.

    Just a quick note to say, riders entered to these events are advised to arrive with plenty of time to spare for registering before the 8.30 or 9.00am starts. With 240 riders expected, the audax controllers at GHQ are going to have their work cut out.

    With the mild conditions forecasted, it will hopefully be a good turnout with few DNSs.
