  • I'm entering the Rowlands Ramble this weekend. 213k from Kingston / Surbiton.
    Quite long, but it would tick your box.
    Will be my first Audax event, so you wouldn't be the only newbie there.

    A question for the Audax veterans in this thread;
    Usually on a long ride like this, I would stop a few times for coffee / food.
    Should I plan to do that at Controls?
    I'm a bit unclear if Control = 'stamp a ticket' or 'stop for cake'

  • I rode Rowlands Ramble last year and it was a really good ride - quite lumpy in the middle. At the halfway control near Rowlands castle - there was a manned checkpoint that was serving beans on toast, sandwiches and snacks to all the Audaxers. The rest of the controls were either a info control (write the answer in the box' or collect a receipt. Theres also vast quantities of pasta at the end in Surbiton. Kingston wheelers always run a well-stocked audax.

    I'll be doing the 'Straight out of hackney' audax next week... if my body can handle it after PBP
