Mines and Mineral Railways ON-road and OFF-road

Posted on 15 January, 2016 by Margaret Aldis

26 June, 2015
Starting from Carharrack Organiser Simon Jones

These two events explore Cornwall’s mining heritage in the ‘Copper Kingdom’ between the Channel and the Atlantic, with the optional extra of a pasty lunch and a cream tea.

The off-road event is a 40 mile ride using the old tramroads and bridleways that criss-cross mid Cornwall’s mining area. This route is 90% off road – mountain bike recommended. The on-road event is a similar distance over the same territory, but sticks to the tarmac of the lanes.

Order your choice of pasty and either rice pudding or scone with cream and jam using customised form or online entry at ukcyclist.co.uk/audax-events/mines-and-mineral.

Many Rivers to Cross

Posted on 15 January, 2016 by Margaret Aldis

5 June, 2016
Starting from Penzance Organiser Martyn Aldis

309km Brevet Randoneur, this year running in June.

A very substantial day out for the well‐prepared and self‐reliant randonneur. Crosses the rivers Fal, Fowey and Camel by ferries and bridges, large and small.

The route has been updated taking out the visit to Lizard village and looping east of Bodmin Moor.  The start is half an hour later in order not to arrive too early for the King Harry Ferry via the new route. Update has been forced by delays to A30 overbridge construction but the resulting route should be a treat.

Note that this is an “X-rated” event, which means there are no manned controls or specific facilities. You attach commercial or ATM receipts to your brevet card for timed controls, and post it to the organiser after the event. No on-the-line entries.
