Mines and Mineral Railways 67km, July 10

[Ian H]

Cornish events often are not supported as well as they deserve to be, so here's a plug for a short on or off road event with loads of food, run by one of AUK's great names.

I've thought about this one, it looks cool, but its waaaaay down in Cornwall

have you done it before, I'm stuck between on and off road routes (cross bike not mtb)

 

[Ian H]

No. I'm even further away, over the border in Devon. The organiser's contact details, including email, are on the AUK website: http://www.aukweb.ne...s/detail/11-837

I should add: I've ridden Simon's longer events, and can vouch that he puts on a good show.

Off road style audax sounds pretty interesting. Though Cornwall is quite a trek.

So long as you also send money to the value of the entry fee.

keeping the thread going, anyone else up for it?

 

[Ian H]

It should make a pleasant, not-too-strenuous, day out.

As I mentioned, the organiser is one of the great names of AUK:-
