Weekend Oct 22 – 23
Clwydian AUDAX 210k from Corwen
Sixty riders did the shorter versions but Denise Hurst was our sole representative among 20 starters in this long, hilly AUDAX which was rated as 3.5 AAA due to the many climbs. Following the flat section around Lake Bala, the route headed over the Nant-y-Garth, down to Ruthin and then to St. Asaph and Abergele before the long climb up to Llyn Brennin. The weather was excellent during daylight hours but the return leg to Corwen was in darkness and into a head-wind. Twelve hours was her elapsed time.
Clubrun to Rose Farm, Utkinton
Nine Members plus one friend rode via Goostrey, Lach Dennis, Davenham, Oulton Park and Utkinton to this pleasant venue. The group comprised: Georgina & Bob Norton, Denise & David Hurst, Bev Hambleton, Roy Hayhurst (spare tyre king), Stephen Kane and friend, Ewan, Dave McVitie and Wayne Powell. The return ride went via Church Minshull, Middlewich and Brereton – for a total of 55 miles – in breezy but mild and dry conditions.
