Some Like it Hot

July saw the final events of the Audax Kernow 2022 calendar – links to the AUK results lists below.

The 200km and 300km events from Penzance on 3rd July offered plenty of climbing and other challenges. It was a surprisingly chilly start with some stiff winds despite the sun, but a glorious end to the day in the far West to reward the small band of hardy riders who took these on.

The following week things had hotted up and riders on the events from Perranwell on 10th July enjoyed – or suffered – wall-to-wall sunshine. Entrants included several people trying their first Audax or their first 200km, and also Geoff Sharpe from Devon, on his 300th Audax. Chapeaux all round.

If you’ve enjoyed riding local Audaxes you might want to consider joining Audax UK. Full details on the AUK site here. Note that you if you paid the non-member insurance of £3 for an Audax Kernow event you can have a one-off discount of £3 on your membership.

Lizard and the Camel

Sunday 10th July 2022
Starting from Perranwell Organiser Martyn Aldis

The event starts from the Perranwell Centre (also known as the Perran-ar-Worthal Village Memorial Hall).

The route has been planned with the first-time randonneur in mind. It provides more modest ascent than other 200s run in Cornwall but it is scenic in the literal sense. The Camel Trail is used for a 21km section but this can be avoided on a rather lumpy all-tarmac alternative

Controls at Lizard Village, Gwithian and Padstow, plus 2 information controls.

Includes free refreshments at Perranwell and Gwithian, with shop and café opportunities at other controls and elsewhere on route.

No entries on the day – advance entry details on the Audax UK site.
