Overview

The Event formally known as the LVIS Audax.

The organisation of this classic cake fest randonnée has now passed to Audax Club Bristol.

The legend of Barry lives on!

Description

Welcome in Spring with the Bristol Butt Buster!

Head through Ashton Court to cross Clifton Suspension Bridge and on into the Severn Valley with views of both Severn crossings before the WI at Hill supply the first cake extravaganza!

Climb the Cotswolds escarpment at Somerset Monument before back across Chipping Sodbury Common to The Golden Valley and Doynton's WI cake stop.

Head south to scale the Mendips, descend Deer Leep with views across The Levels and espy the Tor as you head to Glastonbury.

Somerset Levels now provide a respite from the hills but perhaps not the wind as you wiggle between the end of the Mendips and on to Yatton and the wonderful Strawberry Line Cafe for your last control; they are a community project helping young adults with learning disabilities acquire skills in the catering industry. Finally into the Gordano Valley with one more climb left over to the Arrivee.
