The Harlequin Hack 110km Audax	3*

Leader: John Talbot	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: Northmoor Village Hall
Description: This Audax is right on CTC Wantage's doorstep. I will be riding this event. If you would like to experience an organised event and the relaxed nature of Audaxing then join me! "A modest excursion into the Cotswold hills followed by a gentle wander through the watery lanes of the upper Thames, the Evenlode and the Windrush." We won't be riding hard as the idea is to complete the course and not race it! The ride will be ridden more at a 2* pace. You can enter the event via the Audax UK website in advance. Or you can enter 'on the line' but you will need to arrive at Northmoor by 9am latest to sign up. It will cost £5 for CTC members (remember your membership card) or £7 for non-members. I will likely cycle to the start from home aiming to arrive at Northmoor at 9am to sign in but I can coordinate a ride via OMH to and from the start. Contact me if you're interested in riding the Audax as part of a CTC Wantage group.
Riders: Riders = 0 Report: I got to the start at 9am as planned. Of the 50-odd starters on the list about half a dozen had turned up. Driving to Northmoor the roads were pretty bad, lots of small branches down and some flooding. The organiser had gone off to recce the route. I got changed ready to start only to be told that the organiser had phoned through to say the roads were impassable due to flooding and fallen trees. The sensible decision to abandon the event before it started was taken. Shame but it might have been quite dangerous in the wind. Next year then?!
