Sunrise & Snowdrop Express
Event info
SUNRISE & SNOWDROP EXPRESS AUDAXES 2014
The Beacon RCC February Audaxes are an institution on the Audax calendar, attracting 280 entries each year. The routes use quiet country roads through rural Worcestershire to Evesham and Upton. A gritted alternative is also available if icy.
We aim to find easy routes on quiet country roads that all cyclists could be confident of completing, even on a chilly winter's day when nobody is at their fittest! For some riders our event provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy rural Worcestershire on a crisp winter's day. For others it provides the perfect motivation to get out with friends when they might otherwise be tempted to stay indoors. In recent years we have also been delighted to welcome several local racing men and women who used it for steady winter training.
Sunrise Express: 123km clockwise; Hartlebury - Evesham - Upton - Hartlebury. 8.30am
Snowdrop Express: 123km anti-clockwise; Hartlebury - Upton - Evesham - Hartlebury. 9am
The 2014 audax route will be revised to pass over The Lenches, which was a popular diversion with riders last year.
In the case of icy conditions on minor roads we make routesheets for alternative treated roads available. If the event has to be cancelled due to exceptionally dangerous conditions, riders will be allowed to complete the route under 'permanent audax' conditions on any day during the following 6 weeks. In the unlikely case of event cancellation, riders will be allowed to complete the route under 'permanent audax' conditions on any day up until 5th March 2014. Any surplus generated by the cancellation will be donated to the charity, Headway.

When will these people realise than in order for cycling and walking infrastructure to be truly successful it has to be anti-car because cars are...
Annnnnnnd the twitter account is gone. I am guessing there were some awkward conversations in the Froome household this morning....
I hope not.
An end of season used pro bike for £1500 is affordable, just choose the rider carefully.
Not an advertorial, and you've not used one yet, but:
From a population density 6 times higher?...
Corrected that for you
Growling and barking are often signs that a dog is scared or uneasy, but yeah, that'll be why the sign is there.
You do get that there will be no material differences between the 2 right? Apart from 150g (1/3 of a poo or a 1/3 of a water bottle full) or so or...
Good review of the review!...
