The Kidderminster Killer and From Clee to Heaven audaxes
The Kidderminster Killer is legendary in the audax world for providing a tough day out. This classic event provides an epic 215km ride featuring 3,750m of ascent through rural and tranquil Shropshire, eventually leading into Montgomeryshire. It is not a ride to be underestimated with riders taking 10-14 hours to complete the route. It provides a true test of endurance.
