*** Updated 27th Feb: Entries are now closed. The event has sold out in record time! ***
Thanks to everyone who has registered to ride and help and/or provide a cake. We now only need 2 more helpers at Chippenham Sports Club to help check-in the riders at the finish, from approx 2.00pm onwards
If you’re interested in helping with the above please contact Sheni or email via leisureride@chippenhamwheelers.org
We’re sorry but we can’t accept any entries on the day as we have to make sure we can keep the event manageable and fun for everyone who has entered and especially for our volunteers.
——————————————————————————————————————————-
The third in our series of audax rides for 2024. 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 hope to be showing the Paris-Nice cycling race live on the big screen 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 to make the event a success.
Club members can also get a FREE ENTRY by providing a home-baked CAKE and then enjoy a free ride on the day. We need enough to feed 100+ people!!
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 village halls too, who can help transport the cakes and other supplies.
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 (£10.00 if you are an Audax UK or Cycling UK member, otherwise £13.00). Please enter early to avoid disappointment as the event usually sells out, after which we have to close entries. *** Entries through Audax UK are now closed ***
Route details will be e-mailed to all registered entrants including our helpers approx 1-2 weeks before the event.
SORRY BUT WE CAN’T ACCEPT ENTRIES ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT
