Warm and sunny weather prevailed for the three Audax events [Stonehenge 206k, Danebury 152k and Elstead 112k] run by club members yesterday.
Eleven club members swelled the high turnout of 94 entries.
This Sunday there will be three Audax rides organised by West Surrey members based at Elstead Village Hall.
The ‘Nearly Stonehenge 200k”, ‘The Danbury 150’ and the ‘Elstead 100’ will start from the Village Hall at 8, 8.30 and 9am.
Food and drink will be served at the start and finish. Route sheets will be available at the start as well as GPX files on the AUK website. Entry on the day for £7.
Please note that the ride on Sunday 21st May from Boots in Woking is cancelled as there is no ride leader available on that day.
Good wishes to all
John Wills
The route from Chichester to West Dean was extended last year to reach the main A286 passing under the road but ended at a fence. The South Downs National Park announced today that new steps have now been built with a bike ramp to reach Motor Road, which leads to the main road, opposite the pub at West Dean village.
Over the years I have received a number of adverse comments about the fact that these rides finish about 12 miles from where they start. A few have also commented that they like the ride to Kirdford but are not so keen on the ride from there to Holmbury St Mary. As a trial to gauge reaction, this year’s rides will finish back at the Crown Court car park, Godalming where they start . If you can’t see me outside at the start it will probably be because I’m in the Jack Phillips having breakfast. Click below to download route sheets and TCX files for the new routes.
