Castleton Classic 200km Audax





Joined by Cannon Hill riders Alina, Piotr and John for this audax. Paul signs up for the 100km ride. glucose is slightly low at the start and there is chocolate cake on offer. The first 50km is relatively flat, then the climbing starts and lots of it. We stop at a village hall control for freshly made oatcakes followed by homemade cakes. A big insulin dose needed to get back into range. My pace is slow and I am struggling to keep up with the others. The final 50km is much easier and with a target to back within 12 hours we increase our speed. Back in Shenstone Paul is waiting for us with a great plan for a post ride pub meal.
