Local audax events

Those members interested in audax might be interested in the following fairly local events over the next few months. More information on all events mentioned here can be found on http://www.aukweb.net/cal/index.htm

There are few local events until September, though experienced audaxers might be interested in the new Oxon to Knighton 400km on 17th July, organised by Matt Chambers of Didcot Phoenix CC. This is a "shoestring" event, with little or no support, even at start and finish. (Edit - I believe entries now closed)

• Sun 15th August from Shere, near Guildford, the "Tour of the Hills", a 110km ride with 2300m of climbing organised by Don Gray of West Surrey CTC. Note no entries on the line.
• Sat 4th September from Beech Hill, The Alan Furley "Up the Downs" 200 and "Down the Ups" 100, organised this year by Allan Adams.
• Sat 25th September from Bix (near Henley), The Henley Hilly Hundred, organised by Morris Dowding.
• Sat 9th October from Chalfont St Peter, The "Anfractuous" 200 and "Nyctophobic" 100, organised by Paul Stewart of Willesdon CC
• Sat 6th November from Cholsey (note change of venue), The Upper Thames 200, organised by Phil Dyson

Events in bold are ReadingCTC events, organised under AudaxUK rules. The events are open to all - you don't need to be a member of ReadingCTC or Audax UK to take part. Details of all these and other rides throughout the country can be found through the audax website http://www.aukweb.net/cal/index.htm, from where you can navigate to event details and from there the entry form. If you want more information about audax events, contact Phil Dyson on 01491 651284 (eve)

Ian Harper, one of our members, is a volunteer at the Sue Ryder Hospice at Nettlebed. They hold regular sales of items that have been donated, to help raise needy funds. Ian works, as a volunteer, on donated cycles to ensure that they are roadworthy, before each sale. He has two requests:
i) If you have any old bicycles or tricycles that you no longer need or use, please consider donating them to the Hospice to enable them to raise funds. All types, children’s, adult, large or small are gratefully received.
ii) Ian is looking for a bicycle workshop stand, either for free, or at low cost. If you have a spare, or unused one, that you are willing to donate or sell to the Sue Ryder Hospice, please give Ian a call on 0118 9471524
