Elstead Audaxes and Tour of the Hills

By on 18 February, 2026   /   Blog posts   /   Leave a comment

The club will hold the Overton 100k, Danebury 150k, and Stonehenge 200k Elstead Audaxes on June 7th, continuing a tradition since 1978. 

For Audax UK’s 50th anniversary, we are joining the 50:50@50 initiative to encourage more women to ride. We welcome all female riders and we are aiming to have female-led ride groups, at least for the 100 and 150k rides.  Each woman who participates will receive a small goody bag.

The Tour of The Hills returns on August 9th, for the 44th year, offering a challenging ride covering the main climbs in Surrey Hills. The route starts and ends in the lovely old village of Shere.

The club is once more seeking volunteers to assist help run the events or to take part in the rides on the day. An Events Committee has been setup to co-ordinate these events and the members are:

  • Neil McIntyre (main contact for the Elstead Audaxes)
  • John Carolin (main contact for Tour of the Hills)
  • John Child
  • Jo Lloyd
  • Derek Ridyard
  • Jill Ridyard
  • Alison Warren

If you have any ideas, questions, comments then please do not hesitate to contact any of the above club members.

Club dinner 20th March 2026

By on 18 February, 2026   /   Blog posts, latest news   /   Leave a comment

As advertised on Spond and by email the annual WSCC dinner and awards evening will take place on Friday 20 March, at Hoebridge Golf Club, Old Woking GU22 8JH

 The event is open to all club members and you are also very welcome to bring along guests to this sociable evening to enjoy good food, good company, a chance for the whole club to get together to celebrate another successful year and find out who has won this year’s awards. It may be you!

 This is an informal event but there will be a short presentation after dinner at which the awards will be made of the various club trophies to mark the achievements of members who have contributed the most during the last year in leading club rides and participating in our activities.

The full menu for the dinner, which will be served at 7.30,  is shown below.

The prices are as follows:

2 courses:        £23.95

3 courses:        £27.45

There is also flexibility to accommodate special dietary requirements, including a vegetarian main course, so if you, or a guest, would like to attend but cannot choose from the attached menu, please let me know as soon as possible and I will contact the venue to explore the options.

In previous years the club has subsidised the event by paying the room hire charge, as there is no separate room hire charge this year the committee have taken the decision to subsidise the cost of meals and the prices above reflect an approximate discount of 25% on the charge made by the venue.

The club bar will be available for the purchase of drinks but please note it does not accept cash, cards only.

Places at the dinner will be secured by payment to the club bank account,  please submit your menu choices on the Spond Poll. Your menu choices and payment will need to be received by Monday 27th February 2026 to meet the Hoebridge Golf Club deadline for orders and payment.
