Audax rides

To be fair, Yossarian, as well as being one of the nicer guys I've ridden with, is also someone who really appreciates the beauty of the ride and the joyful experience of passing through a landscape. I think that's why he rides so many perms - where the camaraderie aspect, usually so prevalent on calendar audax, is in short supply.

but sometimes you need a little extra incentive. if points is it, then that's ok. Better than my form, which is uploading to strava (not for the KOMs but) to make my antipodean friends insanely jealous.

At he end of the day it's all for the love of the game I guess.

But he's right about the longer rides. There's an element of self discovery beyond 300km that is a reward for the endeavour. And until you do it, you never know you can do it.

We believe in you Skully. We believe!

Haha. Yeah yeah. Happy to say that 200 is already within reach, (will do plenty more 100s and 150s around doing one or two of those) and 300 isn't out of the question sometime.

Hey, if I sounded sniffy with yoss, that wasn't intended. I was merely saying that I just like cake and lanes. Had a smashing half pint if ale at 87k today, rode the last 20 really happy and full of joy. I'm riding cos I just bloody love the general no-competition vibes at an audax.

Also, the whole audax jargon confuses me so maybe I don't understand some of the stuff you're talking about. Not interested in having a perm (I've hardly got any hair) or doing some diy, I'm crap at decorating.
