Description

A straight forward winter event aimed at experienced randonneurs who just can't wait to get out and ride a 200km in January.
An exciting new event for 2025, oh, alright then, it is in fact just Rain, Shine of Gale Force 9 but ridden the other way around. The route is specifically designed to offer an event in early January when the weather could be an issue. The route stays away from lanes and the high ground. The route purposely joins together long sections on B roads which should be well maintained, and in the case of cold weather, gritted if required. 80% of the route is on such roads with approx 20% on A roads (no dual carriageways). This should help riders get around quickly reducing the time out in potentially poor weather. An X Rated event with postal finish. Collect your card from near Crewe Train Station, there are no manned controls on the route or at the end but plenty of commercial controls opportunities (shops, cafes, garages etc) on route. E-Brevet will also be available. It is an advisory rather than mandatory route so if the weather permits you can plan your own sections away from the A road sections if you wished. The route starts and finishes at a McDonalds. Please visit my website - https://creweandnantwichaudax.wordpress.com/.
