Thank you for entering Barry's Bristol Ball Buster.

The start venue is the Long Ashton Village Hall (BS41 9DP). There will be limited parking at the hall and some on street in the adjacent roads but if you can ride to the start or share lifts then that will really help keep the nearby residents happy.

You will need to sign on in the hall before the start and collect your brevet card, there will also be tea and cake available to set you up for the day. We are collecting donations this year to support Water Aid, Parkinsons UK and Life Cycle UK.

The ride is self guided and not sign-posted or marshalled so you should be competent at following the route sheet or have a GPS device for navigation, and carry enough tools, clothing and food to keep yourself out of trouble.

There will be tea and cake on sale by the Hill and Rockhampton WI at the first control point, and hot soup, sandwiches, cake and puddings can be bought from the and Wick WI at the second control point. The third control is the town hall in Glastonbury where there will be plenty of homemade food available to buy, and the fourth will be a pub with cakes available as well as other food to buy. Hot food and more cake will be waiting back at the HQ at the finish.

If you have never ridden an Audax before then it would be worthwhile reading the FAQs on the Audax UK website that can be found here: http://www.aukweb.net/faq.htm.

We look forward to seeing you in April.
