50 odd on the start list, 25 or so started
That's pretty annoying. I've been looking at events for months and everything has been marked as full so I hope non-starters are removing themselves from lists and not just bailing on the day.

Yeah it's poor etiquette, people should really be encouraged to give a bit of notice for a 1000 especially.
Then again I'm always amazed when I speak to people about booking restaurants and they'll book 4 places and cancel the other 3 on the day, depending on what they're in the mood for. This kind of thing never crosses my mind.

One of the irritating things about audax is that there isn't really any shame attached to not showind up in the same way as say, time trialling. I think most people who DNS an audax just fail to appear.
For anyone who hasn't done them, in a TT, if you send your apologies beforehand, that is recorded on the result sheet, so if you are seen to DNS without having told the organiser beforehand, it is seen as being a bit unsporting.
I've had to send apologies for three audaxes this month. I got refunds for two of them - which I wasn't expecting - but I hope it means the organiser had a reserve.

Yeah it was relentless on the knees. Well worth riding another time if you can, lands end as a halfway point was a good incentive especially as I've never been down there for LEJOG or anything.
Next ride of this sort I do I'm fitting a 40t and Wolf Tooth I think.
I think the final numbers were 50 odd on the start list, 25 or so started, maybe 10 or so finishers?
