We have a whole new year of events coming up but need to make you aware of a few details.
1. The Ranelagh Ramble 50 route has changed so that it no longer takes in the bridge which is under construction. The new route map is on the registration page.
2. The ASH Dash route has been changed so that it no longer takes in the bridge which is under construction. The finish area of the ASH Dash route has also been adjusted so that it is clear that the finish point is in the carpark north of the Whaler. Come down Murray, around onto the Castray Esplanade, and immediately left into the carpark. There will be flags and signs to indicate where we are in the carpark. The new route map is on the registration page.
Details of all scheduled rides are in the Audax Calendar
River Loop – Social Ride
A social ride around the iconic Brisbane River Loop, ending with coffee at West End. No registration necessary; just turn up ready for a 5:30AM start.
The first step to the easiest Audax award, the Nouveau Randonneur Note: Lights and reflective gear required as this is an evening ride, and the sun will set mid-ride.
Reasonably flat course with distances of 110, 150, 200, 300, 400 and 600 km. We start with part of the river loop, and then head west, taking in the Scenic Rim and the Brisbane & Lockyer Valleys. Please contact me if you need sleeping arrangements.
100, 200 (2), 300 & 400 km rides exploring north by northwest from Hornsby and extending into the heart of the mysterious Hunter, Cessnock, Singleton and a few less distant destinations. All UNSUPPORTED but following well worn paths.
The Nouveau Trois is the longest of the three rides to finish the Audax year, and will be held on Saturday to give you the time to complete the next step to the easiest Audax award, the Nouveau Randonneur.
The Nouveau Deux is the mid-length ride to finish the Audax year, and will be held on Sunday to wrap up the easiest Audax award, the Nouveau Randonneur, and give you time to get home.
Second of the Mixed Terrain Series Grand Ridge Road is a classic randonnรฉe through the Strzelecki Ranges on sealed and unsealed roads. The route has been \”improved\” to include even more of those beautiful Gippsland gravel roads we love to ride.
A series of rides out of Temora. Very flat. Course is mostly low traffic areas. Not supported except for emergancies, but you dont need support on this course.
Big groups like to form on ride though due to the constant flats. Beware of bum pain!
Treat yourself to mixed terrain adventure of epic proportion. A breath taking ride through the Alpine country via Woods Point, Jamieson and the formidable Mt Skene. Fully supported with camping available at Lake Glenmaggie.
