Audax rides

When is it? Gonna do it on that folder/shopper? :0)

May 17th. I might do it on my folder.

Anybody else doing the Upper Thames 200 ride around Oxford on Saturday?

Was considering it but will probably give it a miss, really nice ride but cba for the early start >.<

Have fun!

Confirmed entry- Poor Student. January.

Will be riding one of the geekhouses probably, though maybe cannondale- depends on conditions.

This is also tempting.

The Poor Student is a punchy little number. No major climbs but some bits of the Cotswolds can be a bit of an effort. Can be tricky if the weather has been bad before hand or is icy on the day. There's a few bits of road that don't get any direct daylight at that time of year. Best done with mudguards and expect to wash the bike afterwards.

Upper Thames was a brute this year - the wind was very strong through the afternoon. Half killed me.

A little something to tempt people in the the off-season* http://www.sverigetempot.se/index_en.html

*OK, technically Audax has no off season, just some months when there are fewer events.

Sydney to Melbourne 1200 tracker.

Have entered the Poor Student. Might do Watership Down again, for old times' sake. Any other recommendations for the new year?

Is Watership Down an audax event?

Wooo! Poor Student ftw!

^^ Do you mean 'is something as short as 100k really classed as an audax'? I dunno - but it's on the audax calendar.

^^ Yup. I shall have new, shiny (well beaded finish) bike by then (and probably panniers and a flask, if my descent into audax-dom continues at this pace). See you there!

Ed doesn't class an event as an audax unless it's at least 5000 miles with only 2 short naps along the way.

You up for Watership Down again, B?

Dorset Coast 200 13 April :)

OK - will bear in mind!

I might well be up for Watership Down again, I was thinking about it the other week while flicking through Arrivé and thinking that we never did do the summer rerun.

Nice one - will bung an entry in.

He's lied to you. I know for a fact that he did a short and fairly trivial 1400k event this year.

Hackney GT river ride this Saturday, it also coincides with Audax Club Hackney's 'AGM' in the evening - all details are in this thread -

The connection between the two is that Hackney GT made the jerseys for Audax Club Hackney...

What sort of brevet do you have for the AGM? Does it count towards a Super Rassembleur series?

I didn't know Russ had opened a pop-up shop, I'll pop down to see him. We had a chat at the BFF opening party recently.

Just got in for the Poor Student, will have to double check with Watership Down due to work timetable, even if it's a 100k, I prefer to do it with like minded cretins ON HERE such as Boffy for example.

Ed, this ^ are original hipsters not students.

It'll be one that requires a handful of receipts from the nearest bar to be validated.
