The TCE2022 Easter Rally routes and information have been sent out by email - if you have not received the email contact: tce2022@tandem-club.org.uk

For those going on the Easter Rally can I encourage you to look at the route you are going to do on the Rides section of the website for which the only prerequisite is that you need to log in to your account. Rides is in the dropdown menu on both info and events. The route is laid out and each icon is interactive so you can see what you will be passing and if you fancy stopping there. In the screen shot below I have illustrated one of the rides and by clicking on an icon you can see what's there. Further details and a picture is revealed if you click on the name from this link. There is also a website address for that place as well I have gone through each of the Easter routes and all have been done to this standard. If you are suitably inspired and you fancy adding places to your area, then please do consider it. I've added over 5000 places now as well as over 500 routes (all are a good quality)

Thanks Neil, but I’m getting an error saying that only members of the group TCE2022 can access it.

Hi David, you accidently had a second duff login account. I have deleted that so you should be able to access.

If you are thinking of following the ASU or AMU rides which incorporate the Sustrans route from Tackley to Kirtlington and onto Bletchingdon, please beware that the level crossing has recently been blocked to all traffic by network rail.

Which means that you when you reach the place where the level crossing used to be, you have to go along the station platform and use the footbridge to cross the railway line (3 flights of about 8 steps on each side).  The rest of the route is truly a track and is picturesque, but I wouldn't want to use it if there had been recent rain (unless you love cleaning your tandem).

If you do spot any issues in the routes, please send an email to me at events@tandem-club.org.uk, so I can update the gpx / cue sheets.

Thanks,

Phil Harmer.

There are 2 temporary road closures. Both are short and can be passed on the pavement if you don't have a trike or trailer.

The first is just outside Bicester on the way to Launton. The pavement isn't too narrow here.

The second is in Enstone. Best to follow the diversion signs when you reach Enstone, by turning left/south onto the B4022 instead of going straight on, then pick up the route on the A44 heading left/south-east. You would need to turn right/north-west on the A46 to reach the lunch stop.
