I can start a hour later so that's something. To be fair I have have enjoyed the audaxes so far and the people have been great (guards have not come up even on one of Tom's audax earlier this year) Transporting my bike with guards though is my problem. I can't really and not every audax is on the doorstep. So this weekend it going to be approx 700km which is fine if I get in early. I probably won't though.
Using the camper is out. Putting the bike inside is slowly damaging the kitchen and all the rear racks I have looked don't hold the bike very securely. I had to zip tie and lock it to the rack. I had a bike nicked off the back of my camper in France so not getting another rear rack that can't secure the bike well.
So if you don't have a van or big car how do you get your bike to an audax. chopping mine in for an estate seems a bit extreme to go for a bike ride since I don't drive much.
