  • Agree with all of the above but would note that it;'s the lease audax feeling audax in the calendar. It could so easily be a Wiggle sportive. Totally different crowd.

  • The "food" on a wiggle sportive is barely fit for human consumption. That's why they call them feed stops - like you would for cattle :-)

    (Actually I do quite like a fig roll but it doesn't really compare to the bacon roll, pasta, rice pudding and TWO cakes I ate yesterday. Plus an ice cream en-route.)

  • That's sort of what I mean, it's a good bridge between the two. Agree on the crowd though.

    Yes and no. I'd not done it before but had a good day out. Weather helped but it was a good route in any case, and I'd never been out to the top of Devils Dyke before.
    I recognised a good few regular audaxers at the start, and rode the first section with a guy who has done PBP and the TCR. However there were the club groups and guys on Boardmans. I guess there was enough room for both.
    Funnily enough, between the second and the last control, when I was slowing down a bit, a group of six who I'd not seen before, came past me. I jumped on the back and rode with them for a few miles. It turned out they were on a Wiggle sportive.
