200KM Audax ride Thurs 22/7

On road, off road, round in a big circle or down to the coast, we do the lot. We don't just do it at all speeds and for all levels, we do it Agreeably as well!

200KM Audax ride Thurs 22/7

Postby Dan_K » Mon Jul 19, 2010 1:45 pm

I'm planning on doing a 200km DIY Audax ride this Thursday (possibly Friday depending on work schedule). Setting out from Croydon around 8am if anyone would like to tag along.
Also depends on the weather too as it's looking pretty rubbish towards the end of the week.

Anyway, the controls for the route will be:
Croydon
Lingfield
Wainscott
Upchurch
Sheerness
Sittingbourne
Charing
Goudhurst
Kemsing
Croydon.

I'll be submitting a gpx file rather than getting stamps etc so there won't be any messing about at controls, I merely have to pass through the towns.

Total will be around 125 miles. I suppose this is just a post to guage any interest....

If you're an Audax member then this will qualify as a ride if you email off an entry form in advance....

Hi Jon,

All considered mate. 14.3kph minimum and I don't think i'll have to worry about a maximum :lol:

This week is slightly short notice but I would be interested in giving these type of rides a go for anything that is organised in the future.

With apologies for hijacking the thread...
I see a few people responding to this may be up for a mid-week ride next week. All being well, I could do Tuesday or Wednesday (Wednesday in particular currently looks to have a good weather forecast). Are a few of us around on either of those days that we could put a ride together? Andrew G - if you are available how about doing one of your Sunday type rides? Would you fancy setting a route - maybe not 200km but something to get us away from Croydon!?

I'm off work next week and plan on a ride or two, but I also have a few things I need to get done. I'll check out the weather nearer the time and will be doing a longer ride but will be mid-end of the week as I have a 100 this Sunday. Perhaps have a Battle :wink: .

I can rearrange my work next week to go out Wed/Thurs. The Brighton return takes a few days to get over so later in the week would suit me.
