Time to spread the word. Audax Club Lincolnshire proudly presents in 2018 its first SR series.
Two new events are being added to our calendar to give us the full SR series. (300 and 600km).
17th March Bomber County 200
5th May Do Not Forget Your Dividend Card 300
2nd June Lincolnshire Poacher 400
8th September Yorkshire via Essex, (Flatlands Reversed) 600
The club also has planned in late September a 50, 100 and 200km events. (still being planned so not yet in the AUK calendar.)
Those of you who have been on my events before will know that what we lack locally in hill climbing gets more than made up for in fighting against the wind.
The 200 is a traditional village hall start.
The 300, 400 and 600 are X rated starts from stations (Newark Northgate and Sleaford) with cards being posted back afterwards. All have 24hr services and car parks close by.
The 300 is a run down to Leicestershire first to get some climbing in, breakfast at Cafe Ventoux and then turning east and north, taking in a number of Lincolnshire Coops.
The 400 is a grand tour clockwise around the old county of Lincolnshire. A trip up to the Humber Bridge, across the Lincolnshire Wolds and then a run west and then south with an over night ride across the fens.
The 600 is the classic Flatlands route reversed starting from Sleaford.Runs the same time as Tomsk’s 600 so a great chance to meet riders coming north as Lincolnshire riders head south. Then head north to Goole via Red Lodge, Whittlesey, Boston, a new section from Langrick Bridge to control in Lincoln having travelled almost the full length of the Water Railway cycle path. Then rejoin the standard route at Kirton Lindsey. Back from Goole to Sleaford via Gainsborough. Special thanks to Tomsk for allowing this shameless rip of his event. Does now give those us “up north” the chance to ride it without having to start from Essex.
Its hoped to have our own Lincolnshire “Yellowbelly” SR badge for those completing the series. All will be BRM events too.
Hope to see you next year.
