Just a bit of shameless promotion.
Richmond-upon-Thames Audax events (200km and 110km) on Saturday August 6th
After years of riding Audax events, I am organising my first ones.
The 200km is a run down to Chichester and back, taking in the Surrey Hills and the South Downs.
Not a super-hilly route (2300m of ascent in the day), but there's a few tough climbs along the way (Bedham Hill, Duncton Hill and Barhatch Lane are the ones I personally find the toughest).
Good cafe controls at 52km and 100km, then a shop or pub control at 170km, before reaching the finish at 209km at a great pub in St Margarets for beer and pizza.
The 110km event uses the same first and last 50km of the 200km ride with a joining section across.
Same cafe control at 52km (with the best cheese on toast ever!) before turning back into the Surrey Hills (still includes Barhatch Lane and Combe Lane).
The 200 in particular is filling up nicely, so do not leave it too late before entering.
There's loads more information here:

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask and it would be great to see some of you there (and of course it will be a beautiful summer's day!).
