Merlin’s Coast to Coast

It is now only 6 weeks to this new event starting from the Merlin MS Centre at Hewas Water near St Austell.  This event is to raise money for the Merlin MS Centre which is an outstanding charity supporting people with multiple sclerosis.  It is a source of great support both to people suffering with the condition and to their carers.  This ride therefore has a slightly higher than normal entry fee of £10 but participants are also invited to raise additional sponsorship money if they would like to do so.  A sponsorship form can be obtained by accessing the Merlin MS Centre’s own website at the following address:

http://www.merlinmscentre.org.uk/images/Sponsor_Form_for_web.pdf

Or alternatively by contacting Sarah Snell on (01726) 885536.

Refreshments will be available at the Merlin MS Centre at the end of the ride and a goody bag is also available, kindly donated by Clive Mitchell cycles.  Fred will be there at the Merlin Centre for the start of the ride to help with any minor glitches to bikes etc to ensure that things go smoothly on the day.  There will even be someone out there taking photos to commemorate the event.

Come and join us and bring the sunshine too if you can!!

The Joys of Spring

If, as the Met Office have it, Spring starts on 1st March then the weather was running a little late this year. Several riders from Cornwall braved the torrential rain on 2nd March for the Exeter Wheelers’ Mad March Coasts and Quantocks event.  There is a good account of the ride including pictures of some local bretheren here.

Audax Kernow’s Spring makes a later and hopefully more Spring-like start with the Falmouth Wheelers’ events A Bunny Hop and A Cornish 100.

If you are looking to get some distance in before then, why not take part in CTC Cornwall’s Ride the Equinox for ShelterBox event on 23rd March (two days after the Spring Equinox). There are 25, 33 and 50 mile road rides from Devoran, and also two mainly off-road routes from Portreath – full details on the CTC Cornwall web site.

Local Audax events April to July 2014

Details of local events for April to July 2014 are now on the calendar.

This year sees a new event organised by Probus Pedallers to raise funds for the Merlin Centre (Cornwall’s Multiple Sclerosis Centre) at Hewas Water (Merlin’s Coast to Coast).

There are revised routes starting from Devoran for the events previously run from Carnon Downs (The Granite and Serpentine Way, A Lizard Loop and Carns and Killas), and  the “X-rated” 200km and 300km events from Penzance (Many Rivers to Cross and the Four Hundreds 200) are running in July this year instead of over the Easter weekend.

A two-page flyer listing the events is available here to download.

Here’s looking forward to some drier riding conditions and an excellent 2014 season!

New year, new administration, new events list

We’ve picked up the baton to keep the Audax Kernow website ticking over with news of cycling events under Audax UK rules run on Cornish roads.

Many thanks to the founder administrator for his work over the years and for help with the handover.

Martyn and Margaret Aldis
