Did a 100k Audax from Thorne that plodded around the East Yorkshire/North Lincolnshire fens. As it was pan flat I thought it would be a great opportunity to do my first audax on fixed. It wasn't as there was a high wind that meant I alternated between undergeared and overgeared, grinding into a headwind with nothing to hide behind. By the end I was begging for a hill to hack up and spin down.
I also though it would be a good idea to bring it up to a 200k by riding over from Sheffield so at least had a few lumps at the expense of riding through Doncaster. Still, I have now managed to up the furthest distance I've ridden on fixed by 20 miles.
