Audax rides

Not long enough.. unless I ride the 150k there.. but that wouldn't be a BRM. Stupid PBP ruining all the rides :)

Yeah, it's quite tempting to me as well. Cheeky day off work and a nice 300k in the legs :)

Good work!

Remember that fixed 200km Audaxes are a slippery slope...

Ooh. Tell me more about those gloves. Mine are old and knackered but used to be fine. They may also be a size too big or have just stretched because my fingertips don't reach the end. The most annoying thing though is if my hands get sweaty the lining comes out when I remove them and it takes ages to fit it back in. Oh and well done with the Willy Warmer!

I should probably UTFS and find the winter gloves thread.

Ta da! http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/138186/newest/

Thanks for that. Just trawled my way through 69 pages now have a bigger list to choose from. I'll stick with HTFU numb fingers for now till I can filter that list down. Hopefully before the next audax on the 1st of Feb.

Thanks. Enjoyed it, I think.
These are the fellas. Expensive but worth it.
Absolutely awesome.

I have signed up for Wye Wednesday, wont be too early a start as i can get the train from Blackheath.

How lumpy is it out there on that route? I've only ridden a sportive and a 12hr in Kent and they were quite contrasting.

Wye Wednesday looks a bit long for me. But I'm kind of tempted.

Does anyone know, is it really that flat? This is London's famous Kent, after all.

@KT_Bee Did you register for that Worthing 100? I'm going with at least 2 more people.

I quite fancy that Wye Wednesday as well. I've put the gpx file on my gpsies account. A couple of climbs early on in the first 25km then fairly easy. Have a look.

I'll probably edit the file a bit more before it goes on my Garmin. Add in the controls, climbs, descents etc. Hmm. Geared or fixed???

I should do Wye Weds as I could use it as a PBP qualifier, but don't know whether to use a day's holiday up.

'Using a holiday up'

You're doing it wrong. Enjoying a day away from work!

:-) I definitely would enjoy a day away from work, it is just that they are a scarce and limited resource

It's a pro day i.e. 'getting paid to cycle'

3792 feet according to biketoaster so well short of hilly

Smashfest

If it's windy on Romney Marsh you'll be gagging for the hills.

Definitely fixed.

Signed up to AUK and my first audax, 200km from stockport to newport and back. Thinking about doing it fixed as its flat. Excited!

I come from a very flat and windy place... SMASHFEST!

If I can do this one fixed then it'll save the bother of moving my lights again to the geared bike. Ideally I'd like a 2nd set of dynamo lights for the other bike but need to wait for funds to build up again.

That was a very rewarding 3.5AAA AWE today. My first perm.

Netherfield.
