So this may be bit of a silly question, but how does one train for Audaxes.
I have done a 200km and then on Saturday the 300km. My bike seems to fit me pretty well I am not in any appreciable pain at the end of my rides so far other than fatigued muscles. I know that speed is not meant to be a thing in Audax, but I think I would like to get a bit quicker as much as I like sitting on my bike, there comes a time when I have had enough of it :-). I suppose that I could make it quicker overall by stopping for a shorter period (I had two hours of stops in total on my 300) but that feels a bit wrong. Do I have to be doing massive 8 hour training rides do you think? or will shorter quicker ones help as much?
In other news, I think I am doing
Is anyone else?
Assuming I get those done without it being too awful, I think I /will/ enter PBP
