I'm trying to get back in to audax. Have ridden 5 SRs between 2008 and 2012, LEL in 2009, a DIY 1300 in 2010 and PBP in 2011 but drifted away from it over the last few years - had felt like I'd ridden everything I wanted to, and my wife and I had two kids (now aged 3 and 9 months) so ran out of time and energy. My last validated 200 was June 2013, though I've kept my membership running and have done a handful of long-ish rides in the meantime.
Finally got the motivation (and a new bike on the way) and have negotiated the time to start doing longer events again and have ridden a couple of DIY 100s over the last two weekends. I'm aiming to complete enough rides to get my Randonneur 1000 badge this season - with my eye on the Pengwern Pedal 300 from Shrewsbury in August as my 300. A couple of 200s over the next month or so should see me right, and as long as I can keep the momentum up.
Ultimately I want to complete an SR next year and ride LEL again. Spending £300 on the entry for that in January should keep me focused on completing it.
