Audax Permanent Events

You can enter my permanent events online here .
These are for experienced and self-sufficient cyclists. They may be ridden at any time, but entry should be made well in advance to the organiser. Although the routesheets are each written for a particular start location, you can ask to start at any other control along the route. (If you want to ride a DIY event, go here.)

These start from Honiton. They both originated as Audax UK calendar events run on the last weekend of October, the end of the audax season. Now they are available as permanent events so you can ride them when you wish. They are hilly and,as such, attract AAA points.

 

Sea and Levels 200 and 150

These were devised for a newspaper article featuring cycling routes around the country. Hence the routesheet contains quite a lot of extra information about places on the way. The 150k and the 200k share a routesheet. The 200 does an extra leg out to Clevedon. The start is Lyme Regis, just over the county border in Dorset.

 

Valley of the Rocks

Ride from Honiton to Lynmouth, follow the spectacular coastline past the famous Rocks and along Woody Bay. Visit the resort of Combe Martin, then return on quiet roads and lanes via South Molton and Crediton. It is also a calendar event.

 

Exmoor and Coast

A simple route with enough climbing to keep you warm and to reward you with AAA points. It's a Tiverton start. If you ride it early in the year, weather permitting, you'll see Snowdrop Valley in full flower. Simonsbath is the halfway point and, unless you are a very cautious descender, you can make up time shortly thereafter.

 

Blackdowns and Levels

The start is at Honiton. It shares a route with the Sea and Levels 200 between Lyme Regis and Clevedon. After Bridgwater, heading west towards South Molton, the hills become more noticeable. The final leg is mainly rolling, with a couple of climbs.

 

Kernow and Southwest

This is a challenging and scenic route that covers the SW peninsula. It is best undertaken outside the main holiday period: just before or after the school summer break are ideal times. You'll need to prepare well and carry some provisions. There is a calendar version as well.

What Audax Is or Isn't
Mudguards are not required for any of these events. Use whatever bike suits you. If you don't want to follow a routesheet then download the GPS file. You will need to be fit and self-sufficient. Most of these events, especially the longer ones, are hard. You should be an experienced cyclist with both fitness and stamina. There is a minimum speed of 15kph for all the events of 200km and above. Don't worry about the maximum speed of 30kph, you won't get near it. Prepare your bike and yourself carefully for any of these events. If you do all the distances, you become an Exeter Wheelers Super Randonneur.
