Restless Legs 200km

Kick off the randonneuring year with a true test of resilience on the Restless Legs 200km audax, a challenging winter brevet starting from Crewe at 08:30 on Saturday, 10 January 2026. This purposefully designed route, essentially the reverse of the classic "Rain, Shine or Gale Force 9" course, prioritizes safety and speed by sticking to well-maintained and potentially gritted B-roads to avoid high ground and treacherous lanes. With 209km to cover and 1500m of climb, it’s an X-rated event aimed at experienced riders who embrace the unpredictable January weather, featuring straightforward navigation, three commercial controls, and an e-brevet option for modern record-keeping.

Organized by Crewe & Nantwich Audax, this January 10th ride is a no-frills, postal-finish adventure that rewards self-sufficiency and grit. It’s the perfect early-season challenge for randonneurs eager to log their first 200km of the year, proving that neither cold nor damp can keep restless legs from their appointed rounds on the open road.
