About Three Hills and 10,000 km
For those of us who cycle, “every ride matters”. For me, this ride matters more than most because it was to be the last 200 km ride to achieve the Randonneur 10000 award for the second year running. For my earlier rides in October I’d been sticking as far as possible to roads where I would not encounter standing water. For this ride, I decided to follow a more challenging route with a couple of relatively demanding climbs; OK, nothing that would qualify me for AAA points but climbs nonetheless.
Randonax 2024 - Dave Morrison Excels!
Leader of West London Cycling, Dave Morrison always finds really interesting routes. For his Randonax on 26 August, he really excelled himself! I’d ridden in the general area but kept saying to myself “Never ridden that lane before, must include it in one of my routes”. The 70 km section from Wing, round to the north of Milton Keynes and then south to Winslow was a real gem: thank you, Dave!
There were 70 km and 100 km options. Not everyone wants to ride the 200 km route that I chose.
