I’m dipping my toes into the organiser pond and putting on a 100 km ride from Bristol on the 27th August - The Chalfield Challenge http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/17-316/

From Bristol the ride heads east into Wiltshire and turns south between Chippenham and Calne.  The turning point of the route is the Chalfield Manor estate near Bradford on Avon.  Two controls, one a pub and the other a village hall, there are a couple of decent climbs but nothing approaching AAA standard.  The start is at Cleve Rugby club in Mangotsfield on the edge of Bristol (Bairdy’s Avon Cycleway started from there last month). Hope to see some members of the YACF community.

Other new events coming up from Audax Club Bristol,
