LEL 2017 / London - Edinburgh - London Audax

Spectacular show by him this morning. I blew him out of his shoes and then some until he: thanks I'm cool now and we could indeed let him go.

Ludvig, I've got no idea what you just tried to say

Modified my training ride to pass LELers between Peterborough and St Ives. What an experience.

DAS'd Scoble (to no effect, obviously, sorry dude!), looking very chilled with a Fenland tailwind, and saw all manner of weird recumbents and even some sick candy fadezzz. I caught up with Steve Abraham for a bit too, which was super cool.

I'm still planning on pitching up with some water, coke, scran and batteries on the same part of the return stretch. It was so impressive seeing so many intrepid souls at the beginning of their journey, I can imagine it'll be a totally different vibe coming back the other way. Good luck again to all of you!

How the fuck did you know that's my shoes??

That was you! Dude I'm deaf and could not make out what you said, plus I didn't respond as I have no idea if you were saying something nice or rude.

I know, hence the apology! Felt/feel properly daft. You looked seriously relaxed and strong though. Some riders were already gurning by that point.

It was me who had to remind you that the bike parking is not in the control and no shoes in the hall. Have a good ride.

Think I asked you for a pump on first day..

Anyone else pooped?

That's awesome, thank you!

That's American sign language. Try again.

Google translate of the Finnish version of Bohemian Rhapsody?

Lots of Finns at start all very Kaurismäki.

Moffat still very quiet. I think the tail wind benefits were negated by intermittent savage showers. A strong percentage of "drowned rat" audaxers have come through so far...

Trying to track Tim - rider R27 - but only his bag drops are showing up..! Anyone else having this issue?

There have been some issues with the tracking: https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=104258.0

DNF.

Mental roadblock and I was feeling strong and relaxed, seriously fucking pissed.

You OK Scobs?
