  • I want to know why there isn't a fixed wheel RRtY award

    I'm far too enthusiastic about fixed audax than is good for me. I emailed the fixed wheel challenge organiser this week asking how I can buy a fixed wheel challenge patch. They do exist and I'll be sending my £2 affixed to a piece of cardboard and a SAE shortly.

    I also asked if there is a super fixed randonneur patch. There is not. For the good reason that so few people take part that the fixed wheel organiser will be swimming in badges for the next century. I see his point.

    As I'm rather enjoying the back and forth I'd be happy to ask him about setting up a RRTY fixed award. I'm pretty sure that no one has ever asked for it before.

    It would be great to gauge support for a fixed RRTY or having a badges section for fixed on the Audax UK website. Are all of you fixie audaxers Audax UK members?

  • I asked about a super fixed wheel patch a couple of years ago and got the same response. What rekindled my interest was seeing a veteran audaxer posting a picture of all their patches and badges on the facebook group and there was a super fixed wheel patch ... they used to exist! Can they be revived? I did draft an email but never sent it, I did half think if I manage a super fixed wheel this year (I declined the Chapman on fixed but hopefully will do another 600 and/or PBP) then I might revisit it with an offer to sort the patches.

  • then I might revisit it with an offer to sort the patches.

    Thank you! I wonder how we can make all of this happen and be helpful to the fixed wheel challenge organiser rather than a pain. I feel like the fwc might need a re-boot, some new badges, insta page, new challenges.
