Category: Completed Events 2014

The Audax UK season runs from 1st October to the end of September, so the local 2014 season started with Ed’s Mince Pie and Mulled Wine ride in December 2013, and the last few months of 2014 fall in the 2015 season.

If you completed an event within the time limits and with a valid Brevet you will be included in the number of riders finished and you will usually appear on the full AUK results list for the event. You can order cloth badges and metal medals for the standard distances, and Grimpeur medals for AAA points, online from the Audax UK website.

Celtic Coastal and Celtic Canter 2014

10 August, 2014 from Connor Downs Organiser Chris Rayne

Audax Kernow riders 1, Ex-hurricane Bertha 0.

Despite the repeated ominous weather forecasts, 14 riders turned out for the Connor Downs events and were rewarded with a bright and breezy ride – no gales, no rain, no floods, no carnage.  Some even reported more tailwinds than headwinds all the way round, though it was still a day that called for some serious work and smart riding. Serious and smart eating naturally follows – the riders on the Celtic Coastal were able to brunch in the sun at the Apple Tree Café, and everyone enjoyed a good spread back at the Arrivée.

Mines and Mineral Railways ON-road and OFF-road

6 July, 2014 from Carharrack Organiser Simon Jones

We had a total of 55 starters for the two events, more for the off-road, including 16 women. The youngest rider was a girl of 13 and in the offroad a lad of 14. The weather was fine and a bit cooler than last year. We had to do a bit a hedgetrimming to clear undergrowth along the offroad route but there were still signs of bloody arms and legs on the offroaders from
“bramble rash” but this was all taken in good spirit by the time they tucked into their jam and scones at the finish.

One rider emailed “Can I just say what an amazing day I had yesterday,
what a great event! I will definitely be there again next year! Thanks”.

Thanks to the riders who participated and raised a modest sum for Cornwall Hospice Care.

Merlin’s Coast to Coast 15th June 2014

Many thanks to all who helped and took part in the hugely successful first edition of Merlin’s Coast to Coast.  85 riders took part in the ride and all came back with smiles on their faces, despite the challenging hills in the second half of the ride.  The occasion was made even more successful by the wonderful spread of food at the finish and many thanks to all those who contributed to the catering.

Next year there we hope to run a 50k ride alongside the 100k,  which hopefully will result in an even greater number of participants.

Events from Devoran

18 May, 2014
Starting from Devoran
Organiser Martyn Aldis

The change of venue was blessed with particularly fine warm weather, and 65 riders took off from Devoran on the three very different routes, returning to Devoran for cakes and crumble, with custard hot or cold.

There is a “tongue in cheek” ride report on the Falmouth Wheeler’s web site, and some photos.

Links below to the results lists – these show riders who completed in time with a valid Brevet card – unfortunately a few people failed to control so don’t appear here.
