Overview
In memory of Jon Banks, a much-loved friend and cycling companion in Audax Club Bristol and across the Audax Community, who died suddenly in 2025.
Description
Based on Jon's classic North Wessex Downs event, we roll east from Bristol across the Cotswolds before arriving at the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
White Horses, natural downlands and historic Marlborough all feature on 100km riding through some of the best of our region's countryside. After a village hall stop for tea and cake, we roll west into the setting sun before crossing the Cotswolds once more for a well earned finish.
What others think.
Great route and food
Lovely event, a bit like moonrakers and sunseekers but during the day! My second helping and will be back for more.
Brilliant day out
Stunningly simple yet effective organisation. Great atmosphere. Scenic landscape. Cake. Lots of cake.
Excellent route, really enjoyable, great views.
Quiet roads, lots of hills, good fun. Friendly audax riders all having a good time.
Challenging and rewarding
A challenging and rewarding route, with some stiff climbs and fantastic views.
Well organised ride with welcoming controls
I was grateful for the 7am start and the cycling routes in Bristol to clear the city before the morning commute began. We were made welcome in Yatton.
There are wonderful countryside vistas on the way to Westbury. The towns of Marlborough and Malmesbury are very attractive. The ride back to Bristol seemed to be a long climb into the wind, while the descent into Bristol on cycle routes was sheltered. We arrived back at headquarters where Will congratulated us for finishing.
I will do this ride again next year
