« on: 09 May, 2017, 12:53:55 pm »
Try these two audacious audaxes for a good day out.  Entries are already coming in fast, so don't leave it too late to enter.

22nd July 2017

Start: Belbroughton, Worcestershire. Nr jn4 of the M5

THE KIDDERMINSTER KILLER is a 215km endurance audax with a long pedigree, a hilly but spectacular route to Montgomeryshire and back. This event is a bit of legend in audax circles and has attracted a great number of riders, both internationally and locally, over 25 years. 3,750m of ascent provides a challenging day.  Few people return with daylight to spare.




FROM CLEE TO HEAVEN is a 123km figure of 8 jaunt from North Worcestershire to the Blue Hills of Shropshire and back. A lovely rural route with a hill or two or three or....... Lovely on a summer's day.

Clee to Heaven was my first audax (2013)...I don't remember it being particularly summery but I do remember the occasional hill.  What I also recall was the atmosphere created by the org; it was proper AUK, which is probably why I joined shortly afterwards.  Highly recommended.  And train accessible.

One day I'll do the Killer (though not this year as I'll be 'tapering' by then :o).
Think it possible that you may be mistaken.

As discussed a couple of weeks back in the Cotswolds, I'd love to do this, but that wekeend doesn't work for me this year... maybe next year!
