Did my first Audax today. Oasts and Coasts 300 circumnavigating all of Kent and some of East Sussex. I don't think in km so 194 miles, my longest ride by some distance. Apart from the first 50 or so miles which were horrific as I lost all sensation in my hands and feet due to the driving cold rain, the rest of the day was absolutely superb once I'd got my extremities back. The headwind a stinging rain across the top of the Ashdown Forest was particularly unpleasant. Not sure I'll do another as this box feels ticked now. Maybe in a week I'll have changed my mind... :)
