Report:
What a fantastic day to cycle your first Audax ! Congratulations to Jo, Karl and Barry for each completing their inaugural Harlequin Hack. Amidst about 85 other riders, including several other Wantage members, the group rode a classic Cycling UK ride, encouraging, supporting and waiting, ensuring everyone finished the 109 kilometres together.

The weather was absolutely beautiful, if a little windy on the return leg and the route took in fantastic views of the Cotswolds and Vale. The roads were mostly quiet and drivers were, mostly, courteous! Everyone took turns enduring the wind at the front and no wrong turns (of significance) were taken !
Distance:
109.00 km (67.73 mi)
