Sunrise and Snowdrop Express - SOLD OUT

NOW SOLD OUT, SORRY

SNOWDROP AND SUNRISE EXPRESS

The Beacon RCC February Audaxes are an institution on the Audax calendar, attracting 250 participants each year. The routes use quiet country roads through rural Worcestershire to Evesham and Upton. A gritted alternative is also available if icy.

They provide a perfect motivation to get out with friends when they might otherwise be tempted to stay indoors. In recent years we have also been delighted to welcome several local racing cyclists who used it for steady winter training.
