Beacon Road Club just E-mailed me details of their Cotswold Audax in June.

Last year I rode the Cotswold outing and rode to and from the HQ, did a total of 119 miles and had a very enjoyable day. As I'm recovering from illness this year I'm going to leave it as close to the event as possible to decide whether I will do it or not, it should be an excellent day out.

Be careful to not leave it too long dear sir as they do sell out before the day. I to have done them in the past along with the Snowdrop in February and would also throughly recommend the audaxes.

Probably not a bad ride on fixed! From last year I remember it wasn't as hilly as the Cotswolds can be. Of the climbs, I only remember the pull up to the tower at Broadway.

Broadway tower was not a bad one because i got a good run at it,there were two where i had to get off because they were sharp bends into a climb which i could not get speed up.Cannot wait for this years,good roads and food was brilliant !

Yes, you get a 30 mile run up at it!
It's a very well organised event; alas I can't ride two things on the same day!
