Road to Rode – a great day out
I am relatively new to Audaxes so I chose this one for a distance I could confidently achieve and the generous time limit as well as somewhere I hadn’t cycled before. I wasn’t disappointed. The route has both great country views and interesting places, like Nunney Castle.The Rode control was just right for a short break at the very welcoming cafe (first time I have been offered ice when topping up my bidons). I enjoyed the inclusion of the various cycle trails which offered traffic free riding and a little shade. I especially liked the Two Tunnels which were nice and cool on a hot day. Recommended
Hot Hot Hot
Only 30c difference in temperature compared to the Moonrakers and Sunseekers in November, however just as enjoyable in a heatwave as a frost. The mixture of of rolling country roads, Wills Hills and some gravel made it entertaining, although personally would have avoided the gravel by default (re routes were shared prior so my bad).
An enjoyable 300km, and one I would do again.
My second meeting with Bryan
This was my second attempt at the infamous BCM having made it back just in time last year after two disasters. In many ways it was a repeat of 2024 and why I came back, excellent organisation and route mapping. Great support from Will and the ACB, most of whom seem to know my name! Weather was forecasted with an Amber warning from the met office and one of the controls had to be reloacted to stop it being blown down the mountain, fortunately Saturday was at worst just miserable and Sunday warm by the afternoon. Same great route and challenging climbs which I conquered. So in 2026 if you want a great challenge – it is on the bucket list for a host of good reasons
Copious quantities of cake
A fantastic route with great organisation and controls
A great day out
Excellent, as ever: organisation, route, views, weather – and superb food options. Thank you!
Super Event as always.
This is such a cracking event. The people who do it are chilled and having fun mostly fuelled by excellent cake.
Awesome Audax
Really enjoyable day out in great lanes!
Some tough riding at times but balanced out perfectly with great controls. Incredibly well organized and managed.
Hill and Doynton cake (and savouries) spreads were next level.
Great atmosphere with lots of friendly, like-minded riders and weather managed to show up to support too.
Will be signing up again next year for sure.
Cheers!
Fabulous audax (both for the route & the cake!)
Always a highlight of the audax year. The route is excellent and of course the weather was superb. However, it’s all about the cake and this year was no exception.
Cracking Route
This is a fantastic route, taking in some cracking views and topped off by the village cake stops. Now my second year doing this one, look forward to doing it again next year.
Cyclists food festival
Fantastic organisation, catering & weather. Perhaps we need to contribute to a pothole repair fund.
