There are a lot of people on YACF that talk a good Audax season (and quite a few that just get on with doing it). There are plenty that have been talking about riding their first Audax for several years now. :) I lost count of the number of people who set LEL 2009 as a goal in 2007/2008 (nothing wrong with that) and never got round to riding an Audax in those two years they had to get ready. Planning and dreaming is easy, doing is the hard bit. I'm settling in to watch lots of people doing the same for PBP2011 now, it's a great armchair sport.
(Don't get me wrong, I'll support them with advice and encouragement, but I just wish they'd bite the fucking bullet and enter and ride an Audax, even if it's 'just' a 50km ride. Audax isn't for everyone.)
