Description
In memory of Jon Banks, a much-loved friend and cycling companion in Audax Club Bristol and across the Audax Community, who died suddenly in 2025. Based on Jons classic North Wessex Downs event, we roll east from Bristol along the edge of the Cotswolds before arriving at the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for 100km riding through some of the best of our regions countryside. After a village hall stop for tea and cake, we roll west into the setting sun.
