Well done.
Dynamo and spare battery lights ftw.
I used to do the lights thing all the time... "yeah I'll only have a couple of beers so I'll be back before dark... oops" so now I just carry the biggest, baddest lights I can find all the time.

That's the first Audax done then, solo first 100k with 30 of it into a brutal headwind along the coast (not sure i saw over 15kph on that section), then joined another group for final 80k.
Stupidly only took day lights as I thought I'd well be done before dark (first error), then rear light failed riding through Kent lanes in pitch black, was lucky I joined others otherwise I'd have been in real trouble!
Lessons learned if there's to be more of these done
