Second 200km DIY Audax in just over a month. Following a layoff period of 2 years! Thoughts & plans for coming weeks and months... #audax #DIYaudax #longdistancecycling
Not so long ago when I started getting into Audax, I was sat at a control and a discussion was being had about a chap who had allegedly ridden a SR every month for a year. A SRRtY…!!!! No-one knew his name. He was mythical. We sat there memorised, wondering if it was even possible. None of us actually knew for sure, as the story seemed to have been passed down from Audax generation to Audax generation. Assuming the story had been embellished somehow or maybe lost in translation, we eventually got back on our bikes and continued with our ride. As we pulled off, one of the group shouted, ‘no one knows his name, but he shall be called our King of Audax’. 😁 Nice to see you back out enjoying the 200km rides Andy.👍Don’t put yourself under any pressure. If you want to go for an RRtY then go for it. If you don’t, then so be it. You’re already the ‘King of Audax’. 😁😁😁
Lovely ride - a bit of everything. Seaside. flatland. hills. Lovely. Glad you have your audax mojo back - they are really nice experiences. Especially the odd overnight event. I really love riding at night time...
Thanks Andy. On the tyres, I use Continental RIDE Tour 700x32c for the same trade off! I have arthritis in my fingers which made it very difficult to change a tyre until I discovered the Tyre Glider. First I thought it was a gimmick, but no, once I put some time into learning to use it properly... bloody genius! I don't even carry a set of tyre levers anymore.
