I did my first 200 on Saturday as an ECE + Flitchbikes. So far 6 FWC + 6 Championship points. Brevet 500 and 400K left for the 1000k. Of course all on fixed.

I got a bar bag on the second Audax and as you say I don't like the clip-on system. Thinking of selling it for a bag to place on top of the rack. If I didn't have a GPS I probably would have find it more useful for maps and/or route sheets..

I would like to organise a 200 DIY to Cambridge and back to London anyone fancy join me?

Does anybody have a .gpx for the flitchbikes 100?
Just got an etrex and I am dying to use it in an audax ride!

Thanks greenbank, so I am pretty slow... Damn! :)

Done the DIY to Brighton through Horsham and Henfield today in 6hrs 5 minutes.It ended up being 114 Km and with a load of hills as I took back roads the all way. However, the country lanes were absolutely stunning.

Is any body going to do the Flitchbikes 100 on the 5/6 or the Stevenage Bike week 115 on the 20/6.

I want to organise a ECE but I don't really fancy doing it by myself. Anybody up for it?

HI Guys, I may be up for this.
How long did it take you last year to get to Oxford?

Taste of the test sounds good I will put it in my calendar for next year..

What is a reasonable time for a 100K on fixed?
It takes me normally around 6 hours including an half way 30 minutes stop.

Thanks Greenbank, I think I will go through Horsham. That should do some 104K from Bow shortest route with some 800m elevation. I am planning on cruising at some 25-28 Km/h so 68'' will do the trick.

getting in touch with the organiser

Great! Organised and entered.

Hi Guys,

I was thinking of doing a DIY to Brighton Saturday the 21st .
Anybody upfor it?
Would anyone recommend a route to sum up the 100K ?

Wow Akin,

admirable and inspiring. Thanks for sharing! Reading other rider's audaxes makes me feel better. Especially when hearing that I am not the only one to suffer with saddles. I recently noticed that my San Marco and my body don't get along after just 6 hours of riding. Going for a Brooks B17 (very) soon.

I haven't even got my first brevet back. Have you?

No, I haven't got any of my March nor April rides quite yet. Apparently it takes a long time for them to get back to you. Which is a shame as I want to claim the FWC and AUK points for my rides previous membership...

That June one looks good. Might be up for that.

Sounds brilliant.. would you be up for the 200 ? You know you want to :) Besides you are on geared :D

Time to get the cheque book out and do another medieval style transaction.

Lol

I don't really keep an eye out for non audax rides

In May I would like to do another 100Km DIY (Oxford/Brighton this time). In June I think I should be ready for this http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=10-387 as a 100 or 200... These rides should get me a Brevet 500..

No problem..

Are you planning to do any rides in May?

Hi all,

Thanks greenBank for your help. I got in touch with Martin and organised the DIY.

Anto, I'd be up for that. Never ridden to Brighton, so it'd be fun. How do you sign up, or do you just have to collect receipts?

Hey Pascalo, sounds good.
However, this saturday I am doing a (100Km) DIY to Canvay Island return.
Early start (7:00 - 8:00 am) + Full english near the sea + back for lunch
What do you recon?

If you are interested let me know and I will PM the details.

Antonio

I am going to send off a proposed route sheet + controls.
As far as I understand you collect receipt @ start + 2 receipts on the way + 1 at the end and send them to the perms organiser for your area. He/She will validate the ride and assign points.

Is anybody up to do a perm

London-Brighton 100K (fish+chips for lunch) and train back
or
London - Southend-on-sea - London 100K
at the end of April ?

PM'd

shit, come down with a cold over night. I'm out for this one. gutted.

Oh, man!
I hope you'll get better soon.

The ride was actually gorgeous. I am so surprised how many people were there.
Nice weather, a bit of challenging hills and loads of fields.
Definitely a ride for next year. Perhaps, the 200k ( :) )

I rode on 74gi again as my mechanic was closed. However, my knees+ancles are totally fine, I assume I got used to the gear.

Looks like we're in for a rainy one, btw.

Got a Niagara kit.. :)

How about the 9:06 from Kings X?

Sounds good to me, will see you there

Hey Pascalo,
I see that you are in the 10:35 group, I am in the 10:40. What train are you going to grab to go to Stevenage?

I can't see many people doing this on fixed.

I get this hitch... :)
My 17t cog is begging me to be put in use.

Hi tsk,

thanks for sharing. Perhaps, this could be my first 200 on fixed? :)
Climb figures for this route (not familiar with bikely)?

We should organize train the ride again.

Sounds good to me!

I sent off the forms a few days ago looking forward to receive the route sheet now :) .

Leaving work now. Will be there around 20:00.. See you guys in a bit

@ Pascalo
Yeah, the deadline is the 20th I know the guys I rode with the other day are going to be there. It's amazing how many people you get to know at these rides!

Do you live in east London? If so, you should come to the east drinks tomorrow..

Hey Pascalo,

are you going to do the stevenage audax?

This 115 is making me hitch so bad!!!
Going to do the forms tomorrow..
