Fairies Autumn Audax Rides 100, 150 & 200 km

Here's your chance to enjoy the very first day of autumn (according to the Met Office anyway) while there is still lovely summer weather. No need to worry about wet leaves on the road or storm Abacus whistling through hopefully.

Instead, choose between completely new 100, 150 or 200km routes taking you to pretty villages and through areas of outstanding natural beauty, mostly keeping to less busy roads. We want to take you interesting places too. What’s not to love?

The start and finish is Linton village, south of Maidstone on Sunday 1st September 2024 at 8:00 for the 200km, 8:30 for the 150km and 9:00 for the 100km.  Entries are open on the Audax UK website until Saturday 24th August There are no entries on the day.

As always, there will be a warm welcome and a decent spread of food both before and after the event.  We hope to see lots of club members, and maybe introduce some audax novices to the delights of these events.

This is an event aimed at club riders who have thought about Time Trialling but felt intimidated by the fancy speed machines seen at events. When this event was last held most riders met up with their usual group in Marden and rode out the few miles to the start in Laddingford to warm up. A map showing the route from Marden to the start of the event can be found HERE. Afterwards a coffee/cake stop at a nearby café to talk over the event before continuing with the club ride is likely.

There is no parking for cars at the start and finish areas.

Any roadworthy cycle will do and your usual club ride bike will be fine.
