 Sunrise
& Snowdrop Express Audaxes
- Saturday, 24th February 2018
The Beacon RCC February Audaxes are an institution on the
Audax calendar, attracting 260 entries each year. The routes
use quiet country roads through rural Worcestershire to
Evesham and Upton. A gritted alternative is also available
if icy.
We aim to find easy routes on quiet country roads that
all cyclists could be confident of completing, even on a
chilly winter's day when nobody is at their fittest!
For some riders our event provides a wonderful opportunity
to enjoy rural Worcestershire on a crisp winter's day. For
others it provides the perfect motivation to get out with
friends when they might otherwise be tempted to stay indoors.
In recent years we have also been delighted to welcome several
local racing men and women who used it for steady winter
training.
We hope you find everything you need to know about the
Beacon's February Audaxes in these pages. If you have any
further questions please contact the organiser below. For
details of what an Audax ride entails see our description
of audaxes.
In the case of icy conditions on minor roads we make routesheets
for alternative treated roads available. If the event has
to be cancelled due to exceptionally dangerous conditions,
riders will be allowed to complete the route under 'permanent
audax' conditions on any day during the following 6 weeks.
In the unlikely case of event cancellation, riders will
be allowed to complete the route under 'permanent audax'
conditions during a few weeks after the event date and a
charitable donation made of any surplus resulting from the
cancellation.
