SUNDAY 3rd July - 08.00am
WELCOME TO THE 2011 TORPLEX 200Km.
This year the ride is supporting ROWCROFT HOSPICE and we are encouraging riders to obtain some sponsorship,
no matter how small - CLICK HERE - for the form.
WHY TORPLEX?
The name is derived from the areas the ride visits, it starts in the TORbay area and also passes through PLymouth and EXeter - hence TORPLEX
The event normally attracts around 30 riders, most finish between 6pm and 8pm, the last ones are usually home around 9pm, the cut off being 10.20pm - hence you must carry working lights for this event in case you are late finishing.
Mudguards and helmets are optional - this is a ride for experienced cyclists, and you are expected to be mainly self sufficient on the ride. Your route sheet will be comprehensive but you should use it in conjunction with an Ordnance Survey map. Checkpoints and controls along the route are there to make sure that you complete the course - it's not a race there are no awards for the first back - finishing in good time and in one piece is the objective.
You receive a Brevet Card at the start which is stamped as you pass controls, - the final completion stamp is at the finish, your time is recorded, and we retain the card for validation by AUK, and send it back to you later with relevant medal.
The ride carries points for AUK championships, and also has 0.5 altitude points. Visit the Audax main website to learn about all the various awards and medals available.
