This series of Route guides accompanies the Audax UK Permanent rides known as Meshes, a system of control towns and villages throughout England and Wales which can be linked to form standard cycle rides of usually 100 or 200 km. However, anyone is welcome to ride the routes. Enquiries on registering your ride with Audax UK, and thus obtaining a brevet card and the opportunity to gain various AUK distance awards, should be made to Sheila, see below.

Mesh control points are chosen firstly as being close to systems of minor roads which can provide pleasant cycling and secondly as being likely to provide refreshments and an ink stamp on a brevet card, at most reasonable times, 7 days a week. Some 24 hour places also exist.

Because AUK awards are distance riding awards, the routes are as direct as possible between the stated controls and where a main road short cut is possible, this is the credited distance for those who register their ride.

NB the black links to the left indicate routes which are only listed as the reverse of another (coloured link) route.

Cyclists who ride the Mesh, in any part of Britain, are invited to send their favourite routes between Mesh control towns for inclusion in these pages.
