Anyone doing or fancy doing this 138k roadie event starting in Corwen on the 22 October, need to put something on the near horizon to keep me riding in the filth that is the British weather  |

:-/Being of the ancient variety we thought we would try the short, flatter one to Bala and sample the cafes  Did the long one when "Mills the Hills" organised it. |

Sorry Phil, I don't think we can make it this Saturday, but I wouldn't mind giving the Audax thing a go at some point. At least you know that the roads will be open and can ride accordingly :-)

;)Dont forget an Audax is not like a Sportive it's un marked; no refreshments (cafe stop only); route sheet and a "breve card" you have to fill in to prove you've done the correct route You have to hand this card in at the end for safety reasons According to the web site entries are closed but they might allow entries on the day. I've Emaile to find out |
