  • My plan in 2025 is a fixed Round the year series. I’ve already completed an SR and LEL fixed and so am moving on to the next challenge.
    I have ear marked the first six months of audax between South Wales and Bristol already but wouldn’t mind a back up option.
    Does anyone have experience of a DIY and what hoops / regulations/ people I need to jump through/ pass / contact to have an emergency route I can use if I can’t make an organised ride.
    Would it be easier to ride a current 200 as a DIY?

  • Oh also, the fixed wheel secretary takes it on word for points with the DIY rides. Think the abridged wording he said to me when I was asking if I need to run any additional proof was 'it's a niche section of a niche part of a niche activity so he's happy to trust people and liars generally find themselves getting caught out eventually'.

  • Just be sure to email him before you start any fixed wheel challenges. I once got a whole seasons worth of fixed points declined, lol.

  • The Indian audaxers caught out for driving 600km routes at a steady 25kmh to cheat at audaxing never fails to amaze me.
