sorry about that

http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/17-401/  did have postal entries only showing - sorry about that

I only realised when I got a postal entry and wondered why

It's the Avalon Sunrise 400

407km cycling event starting from Clayhidon, near Taunton. Controls at Tiverton, Minehead, Frome, Chepstow, Wotton Under Edge and Frome.

Ride the Exe Valley and A39 by night, see the dawn in Somerset, use the Bath tunnels and the Bristol-Bath cyclepath, cross the Severn Bridge and return south

Event start/finish is at a great pub with free camping in a field. The Minehead control in the middle of the night has coffee. Food at the finish is included. Seeing the actual sunrise at Glastonbury depends on moving speed and weather conditions

fixed now, paypal is working fine

That's quite a big climb to have overlooked - was it hidden in an S.E.P.* field??


[There is bound to be a Hitchhiker's fan along to explain this shortly ... ]

I don't see the reference. The climb must be someone else's problem.

[Phil W]

New information reveals it's 600km if you enter by PayPal

Indeed it is
