Bricks and Moretaine 200
This 202km Brevet de Randonneur permanent heads west from Braintree in Essex through Herts to Bedfordshire to take advantage of heading out into the prevailing westerly winds, returning when perhaps a little tired, with a tailwind. A Mid-Essex route allows local riders to start between controls, or even from home, with additional start/finish controls; convenience balanced by a few ‘bonus’ kilometres. The route can, of course, under AUK permanent rules, be started from its western end or ridden in reverse.
The recommended route deviates from the minimum distance AUK requirements, in order to avoid some potentially unpleasant roads and adds approximately another 13km to the route.
Re-fuelling and controlling opportunities, as well as potential hazards are marked on the route sheet. A ‘selfie’ by a recognisable landmark will be accepted as ‘proof of passage’, should all suitable options be unavailable.
