AUTUMN BEYOND THE DYKE- 200KM AUDAX - 6th October
Posted: 24 Jul 2018 11:30
Everybody is invited to enter the next Beacon RCC Audax, "Beyond the Dyke" on 6th October.
Beyond the Dyke is the resurrection of the once popular event organised by Beacon member, Alan Mason. The route crosses Offa’s Dyke with a short loop into Mid-Wales before heading back to Worcestershire.
Taking a classic route along mostly unclassified, quiet C and B class roads, we leave Belbroughton 8 am, across some undulations to our first ‘free control’ at Craven Arms before heading through the valley floor towards Knucklas and its magnificent viaduct and across Offa’s Dyke. From here-on there is a brief taste of Mid-Wales before taking a sharp turn towards the sleepy mark town of Presteigne in The Marches. It is the a gentle ride to Tenbury and through the sublime Teme Valley.
The route isn’t especially hilly although there some notable climbs around the side of Brown Clee, out of Knucklas and over the Abberley Hills. The route attracts 1.75 Audax Altitude Awards Points.
Autumn Beyond the Dyke is run by the Beacon RCC for Audax UK.
• Start/Finish: Belbroughton Recreation Centre
• Controls: Craven Arms; Presteigne; Tenbury
• Information Controls: Cleobury North; Dolau; Stanford Bridge.
The controls are not staffed by controllers but there are plenty of opportunities to pick-up-supplies and obtain receipts as a proof of passage. Food will be available at Belbroughton before departure and upon arrival.
