Avalon Sunrise 400km Audax

Hi, this is a local-ish to Exeter event so someone might be interested

Sorry, no running or swimming, this is pedaling only. Swimming the river Severn is not recommended

The "Avalon Sunrise 400" starts on the friday night closest in the calendar to the summer solstice, June the 18th.
The start point is a pub on the Blackdown Hills near Taunton. At pub closing time the riders will leave. Through the night they will ride along the north Devon coast and then see the dawn on the Somerset levels.
Then it's a quick trip across the Severn Bridge and back home.
It is being run under Audax UK rules.

This a long way to ride but it isn't a race. The challenge is to complete the course in less than 27 hours.

This is the same weekend as the Vätternrundan 300km in Sweden and the Ride 24. This is event is a completely different type of event but every bit as challenging and enjoyable.
