Tinsel and Lanes/Flowers to Furnace - Tamworth 6/12/14

Post by John » 14 Nov 2014 17:14

Theres a pair of Audaxes (sp?) starting up in Tamworth on the 6th of December. Tinsel and Lanes is 200km, whilst Flowers to Furnace is 100km.

Does anyone fancy one of them? It's a part of the local countryside we never really get to explore!

Edit: After a quick Google here are the routes:

The annual awards dinner is night of 6 Dec, so you need to save some energy and time for that
Belt up, we're going for a ride

I have done Tinsel and Lanes before but I am more inclined to do one of the Tewkesbury audaxes on the same day - mainly because it is along a nicer route. and Mark's events are justifiably popular.

I'm doing Flowers to Furnace, nice enough route for the time of year, not far from home and a decent cafe at the Mora.
