I rode Rowlands Ramble last year and it was a really good ride - quite lumpy in the middle. At the halfway control near Rowlands castle - there was a manned checkpoint that was serving beans on toast, sandwiches and snacks to all the Audaxers. The rest of the controls were either a info control (write the answer in the box' or collect a receipt. Theres also vast quantities of pasta at the end in Surbiton. Kingston wheelers always run a well-stocked audax.
I'll be doing the 'Straight out of hackney' audax next week... if my body can handle it after PBP
I'm entering the Rowlands Ramble this weekend. 213k from Kingston / Surbiton.
Quite long, but it would tick your box.
Will be my first Audax event, so you wouldn't be the only newbie there.
A question for the Audax veterans in this thread;
Usually on a long ride like this, I would stop a few times for coffee / food.
Should I plan to do that at Controls?
I'm a bit unclear if Control = 'stamp a ticket' or 'stop for cake'
