Change but no change on the Mines and Mineral Railways

Posted on 17 August, 2025 by Margaret Aldis

Rides at the start of the Mines and Mineral Railwasys AudaxThis year saw new organiser Jonathan Butt take over from Simon Jones to run the Mines and Minerals on-road and off-road audaxes. The old hands were on hand to help, the format and food basically unchanged, but we saw a number of riders new to the event and Jonathan’s introduction of on-the-line card payments helped keep things running smoothly at base – and allowed for some last minute pasty and cream tea sales.

The events raised £700 for the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity.

147 riders signed on, including a number of  very determined youngsters who impressed us all with their grit and cycling skill. Clearly the future of Audax in Cornwall is looking good. The results showing all validated finishers are on the Audax UK site:

Mines and Mineral Railways ON-road and OFF-road

Posted on 19 March, 2025 by Margaret Aldis

Sunday 8th June 2025
Starting from Carharrack  Organiser Jonathan Butt

A longstanding and popular Cornish randonnée in dual format:

  • 66km off-road route for the mountain bikers, which is 90% off-road and has some technical bits. Mountain bike recommended but rideable on a gravel bike
  • 67km parallel route on the tarmac for the roadies

Both trace the now scenic industrial landscape of the Copper Kingdom and the Great Flat Lode, returning to the Carharrack hall twice for refreshment and chat.

Under new management this year as Jonathan Butt has picked up the baton and takes over from Simon Jones.
