It's a couple of months 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 22nd.
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 Ride 24. This is event is a completely
different type of event but every bit as challenging and enjoyable.
Summary of information
Name of Event: Avalon Sunrise 400km
Start/Finish: Clayhidon, near Taunton
Distance: 407km
Entry Fee: £10 (yes ten+ insurance if you aren't CTC/AUK member )

I did a route check yesterday for the part of the route that goes through Gloucestershire. If you've done this one before, the control up in this part of the world has altered to Wotton Under Edge0

It's this weekend, it's had 37 entries but as the weather is less than perfect I don't think I will have that many starters0
