All of the local events for 2010 are now online. Like last year, a few old favourites have vanished, but happily there are some new ones to take their place. Amongst these is a 300 – an ideal opportunity for those ready to step up from the “classic” 200km distance, or thinking about qualification for the next edition of the Paris-Brest-Paris 1200 in 2011.
Click on the “Events” link in the sidebar, or scroll through the Event Calendar for further details of each ride.
Thanks to all who came along today and made this, the sixth running of the Coastal, the most successful to date. The hoped for scorcher failed to materialise, but the 50 riders who turned out for the Coastal and 14 for the Canter didn’t seem to mind too much. Both rides will be back again next year on the same weekend – looking forward to seeing both old faces and new on that occasion.
P.S. Which of you lost a bike computer today? Email Kernauk with the make, and he’ll pop it in the post to you.
Anyone who has entered either event beyond the two week deadline (26th July) may not receive a routesheet in the post, as the organiser is on holiday until the 7th of August. Routesheets will be available on the day at the event HQ.
Most of the Cornish events in 2009 are now visible on the event calendar and upcoming events list. A few events have disappeared this year, namely the Mines and Minerals and North Cornwall Coast and Downs/Moors. Before you get too downhearted, there are three new events for 2009 – all starting from Launceston on the 14th of June, and organised by Jim Wilkinson and CTC Cornwall.
Two are 100km events – The Bodmin Bash and The Dartmoor Dash, take the scenic and lumpy route across Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor respectively. For those unable to make up their minds, the 200km Two Moors Challenge visits both.
