Also did Brace of Bramleys - mostly because I realised I hadn't done a single audax this year and felt I should justify my continued membership of audax uk/check i can still do a 200.
It turns out I can, I just don't really want to. For the first few hours I felt comfortable that I'd be finished by near 5ish, then relentless rain/headwind/plugging tyre holes took its toll and I finished around 7 as well. Was slightly disconcerted to find the finish was full of civilians out for dinner/drinks on a Sunday night. Bit too much of a reminder of what a weird thing it is to be doing.
Good event, though hasn't really helped me re-capture any enthusiasm for regular audaxing.
Possibly least amount of photos I've ever taken on a bike ride, though this prety much sums it up.
