Get Straight Outta Hackney to beautiful Herts, Essex & Cambs. Very rural route inc. open plains, quiet country lanes, & rustic pubs.Controls in archetypal English villages & Cambridge with the famous ACH BBQ Arrive.

Audax Club Hackney invites you to start a 'fast & friendly' ride from Harringay, North London (which is actually just over the border from Hackney). Start outside The Chestnut Cafe, 300 St Anns' Rd, N15 5RP and then get 'Straight from the city to the 'C'' into some beautiful countryside. In a surprisingly short space of time one is jettisoned into a wealth of agricultural plains, quiet country lanes and lovely rustic pubs. You won't believe how accessible it really is. Control in the quiet village of Ickleton with access to village shop and/or the nearby Riverside Cafe then an info at Little Thurlow before a control at The Copper Kettle Cafe in the ancient city of Cambridge. ACH operated control in Puckeridge and then whiz back to the The Salisbury Hotel for Arrivee before an all inclusive Audax Club Hackney barbecue at ACH HQ on Harringay Road. Like last time it's a gut-busting bonanza inc. the ACH Chorizo, Pepper, & Rocket Ciabatta sandwich originally introduced to our bespoke menu designed by the renowned chef from Brindisa, Borough Market, as well as our classic North African vegetable stew, based around a traditional Moroccan recipe Harira. I continue to cherish this recipe after initially sampling whilst travelling in Marrakesh back in 1993 There are also exotic fruits aplenty as well the usual free beer tokens for The Stags Head pub/shed, for a selection of chilled ales, ciders and soft drinks.

This year also sees the second issue of the SOH Oat & Syrup flap-jack which, along with your banana, will be handed out at the start to see you through to the first control.
