We have a whole new year of events coming up but need to make you aware of a few details.
1. The Ranelagh Ramble 50 route has changed so that it no longer takes in the bridge which is under construction. The new route map is on the registration page.
2. The ASH Dash route has been changed so that it no longer takes in the bridge which is under construction. The finish area of the ASH Dash route has also been adjusted so that it is clear that the finish point is in the carpark north of the Whaler. Come down Murray, around onto the Castray Esplanade, and immediately left into the carpark. There will be flags and signs to indicate where we are in the carpark. The new route map is on the registration page.
Details of all scheduled rides are in the Audax Calendar
