The Kidderminster Killer & From Clee to Heaven Audaxes
Event info
Two great audaxes starting in Worcestershire that are hilly, scenic and very popular for cyclist seeking challenging rides on a summer day.
The Kidderminster Killer - 215km
The Kidderminster Killer is a classic on the audax calendar: long, hard, very hilly but also very rewarding.
- An epic ride to Mid-Wales and back with 3,750m of climbing through Salop and The Marches.
- Stunning views are the reward for the day's hard effort.
- An audax event with a 27 year pedigree (long before the word 'sportive' ever came to fruition)
- You may with trepidation but you will finish with elation and a knowledge that if you can ride The Kidderminster Killer you can ride anything .
From Clee to Heaven -
- A venture into deepest rural Shropshire along a figure of 8 route. Strangely, the Clee Hills are rarely visited by any cycling event, so you will be in for a treat.
- Refreshed route for 2013
- The route is hilly with 2,000m of climbing but riders be rewarded but the idyllic countryside of South Shropshire and its blue hills. The route was test ridden last year by several Beacon Members who gave positive feedback.

Be careful the person paying doesn't find out you drove part of the ride, you could be reported to trading standards
This will have been in the insurers minds , good ventilation that an alarm and smoke cloak were no barrier to the theft

The basemaps aren't Google Maps, they're OpenStreetMap-based. Only the rerouting is Google Maps, as far as I can tell.
This all looks to me like a case of a premature announcement (really shouldn't have said he was switching to cycling until the contract was in...
I think that's correct. ...
For tyre reviews it would be really helpful to report the different sizes available, not just the size that was tested.
Sorry, I can't provide any certainty. I'd be tempted to try adding a washer to see if that removes the play. With mine, if I tighten up the pivot...
