Really enjoyed watching that,such a shame we dont have that program down here though.I dont watch a lot of tv but would make an exception for anything cycling related.Many thanks for the linkJust watched it on the iPlayer here.
The guys mad. A 300k hilly audax as your first event! Good on him for finishing. Does look nice though...
Summed it up brilliantly, Philip........Dougie did brilliantly - the furthest he had ridden in a day before was 120 miles so bumping that up to 180 miles, with all that climbing thrown in for good measure, was quite an achievement for him. He did it in 18.5 hours and despite having problems with his chain, his derrailleur and his guts, he coped magnificently.
Most interesting was the general camaraderie amongst these enthusiasts. Audax is often described to me as a cycling event for middle-aged men with beards and rickety old bikes with mudguards and lights, and while there may be an element of truth yet the Snow Roads event is exactly the kind of event I would want to take part in, an event where people looked out for each other and actually helped each other complete the course.
This excellent broadcast is available for another week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01p2w32/The_Adventure_Show_2012_2013_Snow_Road_Audax/
