Any information on this ride or a link ? No far from me so may be interested. There's also a 172Km ride from roughly the same area at the end of May which I'm thinking of doing.

135 km event - Seamons Llangollen Panorama
208 km event - Seamons CC 'Tour of the Berwyns'
They sound like interesting events. On that date, I hope to be riding this one - 160 km - The Cotswold Challenge

The audax site uses a 'frame' to contain the pages so if you look at the address bar it always gives the address of the frame, not the contents of it. I got the addresses from the links in the calendar before clicking on them.longers said:
In my Opera web browser, I just right click on the link and select Copy Link Address from the popup menu.
In Internet Explorer, that would be right click, then Copy Shortcut.
In Firefox, it is right click, then Copy Link Location.
I think those frame thingies are a nuisance. Bookmarks don't work with them. If you navigate direct to one of those pages, there isn't a route back to the parent frame.

Hi everyone.
I am in the Seamons and have ridden this most years since inception. The start is from Willington Hall hotel with parking on site. The sign-on is inside the hotel with coffee (and tea) provided. The finish is at a pub about 1.5 miles away (downhill from pub back to hotel!).
The route is great with quiet roads mostly (Colin will find this pleasant difference from Brian Robinson yesterday!).
Times range from about 8.5 hours upto 12 (or more!) hours for the 127 mile route. Each to their own pace.
Route can be summarised as:
Across Cheshire plain to Welsh hills
First climb to cafe at Prospect Place.
Downhill followed by undulating ride along Dee valley to foot of Milltir Cerrig. Some 'stingers' there! Cafe in Corwen.
Over Milltir Cerrig (just checked and less than climb over Holme Moss yesterday just lot longer distance wise)
Two climbs over to Chirk (cafe) (one a nasty one at the end i.e. steep) then across Cheshire plain to finish (a little sting in the tail at the end).
Hope to see you on the day!
PS Makes a great training ride for Sportive riders but remember is self guided.

I'm sure I would if I rode the event, but I'll be riding the Cotswold Challenge instead!llanberispass said:
Maybe next year, if I can arrange a lift with someone?
Enjoy it folks - it sounds excellent!
