Forthcoming Local Cycling Events

I thought I'd just keep you up to date with some cycling events that are happening locally.

A last shout for the Evans Cycles Sportive at Lackham College, Chippenham on Sunday 26th October 2014. The cost is £17.50 with a £2.50 surcharge if you enter on the day. There's a choice of courses over 34, 62 or 80 miles.

Performance Cycles Winter Mini-Sportive Series starts on Sunday 19th October 2014. Choose to ride either 45 or 65 miles. These represent excellent value. Entry is just £8.50 and includes hot drinks and food at the end. The rides begin and end at the Cotswold Water Park, and are limited to 150. They proved extremely popular last year.

There are three Audax rides which all take place during February 2015. Audax events are open to non-members for an extra £2. If you've never ridden an Audax before and you're wondering what they're all about, have a word with me, Howard or Steve and we'll do our best to confuse you.

On 1st February, there's two rides from Ashton Keynes, one covering 108km and the other 155km.

On 8th February, there's the famous 102km 'Flapjack' at Chippenham. If you only ever do one Audax, let it be the 'Flapjack' and I promise you won't be disappointed. Last year the event sold out, so don't leave it until the last minute if you want to enter.

Finally, before you book any rides for 2015, there's a very good chance that once its been discussed at a Wednesday get-together, there'll be a repeat of our own Sunday Series on the first Sunday of each month, starting on 1st February.
