Audax rides

Sounds about right. Is there a good cafe in Dolgellau?

Is it stupid to dodge a bit of main road in order to explore some forest roads? Hmm...

I've eaten at T.H. Roberts and Y Sospan before - both were pretty good. Plenty of other options too depending on timing - Spar, a chinese takeaway and a Little Chef east out of town on the A470.

Forest roads? Yes, stupid. But do it anyway.

+1 for T.H Roberts, good brekkie

Thanks @TomvanHalen @hiraethus will keep an eye out for that.

Watership Down is calling me.

Fucking students and colleagues and their fucking stupid germ filled children and stupid devotion to their jobs. Full of fucking cold again. Going to sell all these fucking bikes and fuck off trying to do anything, ever.

Just now nicely worked on yesterday's calorie deficit.

"Bright eyes, burning like fire..."

BCM entry sent off today, only a few places left so hopefully I have done it in time. Work commitments mean this fits better than Brimstone, it would be helpful if I finish a 600 before LEL too, and with the Pendle and Brimstone being my original plan, that was less than assured.

Now to lose 15 kilos.

Pendlegeddon and Brimmers mmm

Submitted this DIY yesterday as a combination of my December RRtY ride (the final one!) and Festive 500. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18190366

Hoping I don't fail...

On the singlespeed?

Oh aye.

Cripes. Would offer to come along for the first loop but it's still 100km too long for me.

Good luck dude!

Hoping I've got enough strength back after this fever to get out for a tenth of that :/

Ta mate. My plan is:

Start first loop at 5AM. Finish first loop by 7PM.
Dinner, shower, sleep, coffee.
Start second loop at 10PM. Finish by 7AM.

That is obviously if all goes to plan and all is without a hitch...! Am even taking a spare tyre just in case.

all the best JB.
Ride report?

God's speed

Jesus. Good luck! +1 on ride report.

Christ, I will just be happy to stop drinking long enough get my 200 done this month!

Don't it's not worth it just start again.

Gosh. Good luck. You'll be in my part of the world from about 150km in. When are you actually doing it?

Whole of 26th/morning of 27th... if all goes well.

300 down... heading back out in a few hours.
