Posted on 26 May, 2022 by Margaret Aldis

Cream teaIf you are entering one of the Mines and Mineral Railways events don’t forget to order your pasty and cream tea. There’s a new system this year so you can do this from the AUK site along with your entry. If you’ve entered already and missed the spot, it’s not too late to add your food order – just use the Audax Kernow part of the AUK Store to choose your pasty and cream tea or pudding.

Mines and Mineral Railways ON-road and OFF-road

Posted on 18 March, 2022 by Margaret Aldis

Sunday 19th June 2022
Starting from Carharrack Organiser Simon Jones

A longstanding and popular Cornish randonnée in dual format – a 67km route on the tarmac for the roadies, and a 66km parallel off-road route for the mountain bikers, which is 90% off-road and has some technical bits. Both trace the now scenic industrial landscape of the Copper Kingdom and the Great Flat Lode, returning to the Carharrack hall twice with the option of enjoying a pasty lunch and a cream tea.

Please enter and order your food in advance. You can pay and enter online via the AUK website or by post:

  • Online entry Once you have made your event entry on the AUK site (links below), use the Audax Kernow part of the AUK Store to select and pay for your food option (follow the organiser’s website link on the AUK details page, or navigate from the AUK site menu).

Mines and Mineral Railways 30th June 2019

Posted on 16 August, 2019 by Margaret Aldis

Over 100 riders on the Mines and Mineral Railways events enjoyed a day out up, down and along in mining country, most also taking advantage of the pasty lunch and cream tea.

There were 58 riders on the 67km on-road route who all finished well in time. The riders included several on e-bikes who successfully played off the power of legs and batteries to cover the terrain without running either flat.

An off-road route of similar distance is a much harder challenge and there were some DNFs but still 32 finishers, including one gritty rider who finished with 17 minutes in hand, then turned around to go back and urge on her flagging friend – she also made it, with 3 minutes to spare. Chapeaux all round, and many thanks to Simon and his helpers for the excellent organisation and feeding.

There are some pictures on the Falmouth Wheelers web site here and here. Results list are on the Audax UK site as linked below.

Excellent day out yesterday both on tarmac and on trails  – who’d have thought we would be glad of a drop of rain to keep things cool for a while.

Chris Rayne has provided some excellent photos of the event as usual.

Chris’s own events, the Celtic Coastal and the Celtic Canter on the 21st October are now registered in the AUK calendar for the 2018/19 season and are open for entries. I’ve added these and other local(ish) events currently registered to our list of forthcoming events.
