Nick Where and what distance are the stops on the A run? For those of us who don't do 200 km before-breakfast, need to know how much food to carry and if I'm going to survive. Have yet to do even a 100 miler this season :shock: There will be a cafe/shop stop approximately every 50km give or take bu...

This weeks A Run is another 200km jaunt around the lanes and roads of the Midlands. This time we'll be revisiting our own Mr Richards Circumcision of Birmingham route. I've had to tweak it a bit as it wasn't actually 200km for those of us wanting to submit a DIY Audax entry for September. Here is t...

Nick, might try again to pick you up for a few hours. Which way are you coming through?

Heading out via Belbroughton. The road was back open again when I rode through this afternoon, just need to take care due to the loose chippings.

Nicks_77

Sunday’s A Run will start at 8:15 with a visit to Ludlow, approx 80 miles BH to BH.

This will be a very hilly route taking in Clee Hill on the return journey.

A great way to test your climbing legs if you’re doing my 300 in a few weeks time.

I was originally planning to do Paul’s A Run but Mrs Shenton has enforced a curfew this week

Apologies for the late posting of this weeks destination, I’ve been a bit busy riding the cobbles of Flanders this week.

To avoid the madness of the Velo this Sunday the A Run will once again head North, most likely to Spiders Web but I might change my mind on the day.
