Followers of Ron Carlton’s Cheltenham Flyer over more than 20 years (I have ridden 11 since 1992) should not be disappointed in the new incarnation of Ron’s route. Ron’s earlier routes went into Shropshire over Clee Hill. The Flyer migrated to the Cotswolds with Ron’s final versions drifting into Wiltshire.
Having accepted to run Cheltenham’s Flyer 200, I have linked with my earlier Cider with Rosie routes down the Coln Valley. From the R Thames, we go south to the Kennet & Avon Canal and (from Burbage) across to Lacock to follow (almost) Ron’s previous return home. For a shorter ride there is a Cider with Rosie 150.
I have also developed a new Perm to match the new route, so representative variations of all 3 Cheltenham Flyers can be ridden as Permanents.
Check it out on the Audax Calendar website, where you can find the 2012 version Routesheet and gps track and PayPal entry.
