***Entries are now closed – sorry, but we can’t accept any entries on the day*** The third in our series of audax rides for 2023. This is our club’s traditional Open Audax which typically attracts over 100 riders from across the country. The event is promoted through the Audax UK website. We will be providing 3 village hall controls in Brinkworth, Kemble and Sherston where our club will provide tea/coffee, cake, flapjack (of course!) and beans on toast to all the 100+ riders. Everyone finishes up at Chippenham Sports Club where we’ll provide post-ride refreshments in the main function room (the bar will be open too). We offer a limited number of FREE ENTRY places to any Chippenham Wheeler club member who can help/volunteer in any way possible whilst also riding the event! We need around 25 helpers on the day itself. No prior experience is needed to help and you can be assured it will be fun! We ask the rider-helpers to set-off earlier than the main bunch and help out at either Brinkworth village hall or ride on further to help at Kemble village hall. In this way, as a Wheelers club member, you can enjoy riding and helping and still have your ride validated for the club series and with Audax UK. We also need non-riding helpers at all the controls too, who can help transport the cakes and other supplies. Route details will be e-mailed to all registered entrants including our helpers approx 1-2 weeks before the event. For general info on the Club Audax series including our club medal awards follow this link. For any queries about this event, or if you are able to help without riding, then please email leisureride@chippenhamwheelers.orgYou can also get a FREE ENTRY by providing a home-baked CAKE or some FLAPJACKS and then enjoy a free ride on the day. We need enough to feed 100+ people!! We now have enough cake baking and rider-helper offers. We could still do with a couple of people to help with the check-in at the finish, in the Sports Club from 1.30pm onwards.If you are a Chippenham Wheelers club member and want to ride and help then please register using this booking form where you can indicate your preferences. As the event is run under AUK regulations the entry process is a little different, but it’s quite simple.If you just want to ride without helping or you are not a Chippenham Wheelers club member then please enter and pay through the Audax UK website via this link (£8.50 if you are an Audax UK or Cycling UK member, otherwise £11.50).
