Great Audax!
Great route, an ideal early-season blast. As ever from GWR excellent organisation. Thank you for a great day out. Even had sunshine and no rain, although the water logged countryside provide plenty of dampness.
Flat and fast
An awesome route, especially if you are new to Audax. The last bit with some very fast downhills to the location is stunning! Another great route from GWRaudax/Will.
Oh, and did I say – great stops! The baked potato with butter at Cafe de la Post at Chadlington was awesome!
Great organisation, great route, great company ????
Really well organised with extra effort needed to cover COVID and all ran really well. Hooked up with a few know and a couple unknown riders in our group that worked out a treat with well matched pace and great company on route. Loved the less travelled lanes and even the larger routes were pretty car free for short runs. A fitting restart of official events & big thanks to Will and helpers for a great days riding.
Cracking route
Exploring lesser known bits of the Cotswolds, hidden valleys, winding avenues – really well planned route and brilliantly organised for Covid conditions. Food stop at the Water Park was excellent. Jury’s out on iOrienteering App but lots of alternative ways to check in/record the ride. Weather was bleak and grey with a bitter North wind – but didn’t put a dampner on it at all. Great all round hope to do more GWRs soon 🙂
Tickled of Thornbury
Terrific ride to the Cotswold Water Park on a well planned route. Would recommend and perhaps try the 200 next year. Well organised and super food/coffee stops.
