Falling Leaves Audax - 100km - 6th October
This is a great little Audax with a bit of climbing around the Cotswolds, I would 100% recommend it for a great days riding - http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/13-613/

I agree with Alan, but who would dare otherwise.AlanW wrote:This is a great little Audax with a bit of climbing around the Cotswolds, I would 100% recommend it for a great days riding - http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/13-613/
If Lisa is on schedule, I will be otherwise engaged that day and will not be able to participate due screaming mother with labour pains, poo and nappies.

I did wonder what had happened to you, as we seemed to lose contact with you going up Corndean Hill right at the start.Andy Terry wrote:Can't argue with that.AlanW wrote:Well what a utterly glorious day out on the bike

Tough route, especially when you're struggling to keep up with stronger riders, but it's marvellous scenery and it was a beautiful day. Good to chat with everyone, too, during the odd spells when I was close enough. Tried to get a snap of Alan shouldering his bike over the ford in the woods near the end, but it didn't work out.
Yes, it was a tough but great day with fantastic scenery and autumn colours, plus superb weather. Couldn't be better really. I'm convinced the climbs have become longer and steeper since last year, maybe something to do with tectonic plate movement
I started the day at Wythall and rode it as a 200km ECE. Started a little late, and along with patchy fog I thought I was going to miss the start, but didn't.
