Starting at 0500, there is an absence of nice hotels near the start...........
Premier Inn it is then .

Just to bump, will this be the thread for 2022 LEL?

Anyone else entered and have you chosen your start and times?

Where are you leaving your bags on route?

I'm 45, have no gears on any bikes.
Use a track bike for Audax and this year have completed a couple of 200km, a 300km and have a 400 and 600 before LEL.
I live and ride in hilly South Wales.
The bike is completely impractical on a normal level but I love it for the simplicity, my wife just received her Project One 12 speed Di2 Emonda and while it is a beautiful bike I have no pangs of desire.
If there is any time to do whatever you want then 40 something is it, maybe get a geared loaner or hire for a long weekend to see if you're tempted........

Brilliant, was just interested in how the restrictions were working (looks like they’re due to ease a bit more next week).
We’re been visiting in summer and winter since 2000. If you’re moving out the Ötztaler Rad Marathon is a great ride from Sölden.

We are hopefully coming out to Obergurgl this weekend (fingers crossed for son's PCR on Friday). How is the village? Is it quieter? Are the restrictions very noticeable?

I’m just thinking ahead to 2023, unsure whether I want a solo challenge or a more structured race…..

Has anyone ridden or have any information on the Calais - Brindisi permanent?

With Dugast latex tubes, unfortunately a tweaked back means they haven’t been used in anger yet.
They seem as close to tubs as I can get without the hassle and the ability to change tread without multiple wheelset.
The aim of the build was high spec , old skool practicality.

Beautiful, thanks!

Good morning, can I ask for some knowledge from some wiser audaxers?
My goal this year is a fixed SR leading into a fixed LEL, I have the Moonrakers 300 under my belt already but then it dawned on me that I don't know how to ratify the rides as fixed?
Do I simply mark the card at each ride , do I need to apply for an official fixed card for the ride or whole season or do I submit every thing at the end of the season?
I have studied the Audax UK site and page on fixed but am none the wiser.

Thank you :)

Can I ask people's opinions on the Garmin Etrex 32x? or Etrex in general.
I'm looking for the holy grail of long life and usability, the AA batteries, rugged design and simple looking use are what has caught my eye.
Are there any other GPS units I should look at (I'm not bothered about power etc as I ride fixed).

The slightly hidden one obvs…..

That is lovely. Should probably try it on a single speed forum though

Did I just witness something wonderful..........

I have worn medium in both for many a year.
