This sell out early season event is designed to brush away the cobwebs by taking riders along two 123 circuits around Worcestershire. The Sunrise and Snowdrop Express represents one of busiest events on the audax calendar. For some riders the event provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy rural Worcestershire on a crisp winter day. For others it provides the perfect motivation to get out with friends when they might otherwise be tempted to stay indoors. In recent years we have also been delighted to welcome several local racing men and women who used it for steady winter training. The two 123km events follow the same routes but in opposite directions. The routes follow quiet country roads with only a few short bits on main roads. February can of course be quite cold. So we have the option of gritted alternative if road conditions are poor, assuming that the dear old County Council has sent out its gritters the night before. Start Point: Hartlebury, Worcestershire Route: Hartlebury - Evesham - Upton Upon Severn - Hartlebury Entry fee via Paypal: £8 (£6 for AUK/CTC/BC members) The HQ is at the Hartlebury Trading Estate Cafe, post code for Sat Nav location is DY10 4JB.
