Audax UK new member!

[JoeyB]

Woo hoo!

Just received my email confirmation to state that I am now a paid up member of Audax UK!

I plan to enter a 100km ride next month, can't wait to get started!

The goal is an SR next year which will act as a good build up to LEL...

Now to work out what a AAA ride is :-)

 

[Ian H]

AAA = "scenic".

 

[Banjo]

AAA =Scenic and with enjoyable downhill bits.

Woo hoo!

Now to work out what a AAA ride is :-)

Find out by entering this event next year:- http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/audax/killerclee/kidderminster_killer.html

Some simplified AUK unwritten rules:

• AAA means 'challenging'
• if it says 'challenging' - watch out

 

[Tynan]

I'll join shortly for the same reasons

There's no need to find out what an AAA ride is

at all

I avoided AAAs in my first couple of seasons, but have now racked up enough points for one of these:

Given my sloth-like progress up most inclines I'm quite chuffed.

Looks like AUK has over 5,000 members for the first time in its history.

I don't know whether to renew or not. I entered one Audax in the whole of last year and that was a DNS due to a crash the weekend before.

 

[JoeyB]

Renew! Stop thinking about it and just do it!

It's not exactly a fortune, but I can see where you are coming from. OTOH If you are planning on riding LEL next year then I'd expect you will ride more Audax rides this season than last

 

[Ian H]

Long-distance/endurance riding isn't everyone's cup of tea. Not all that many people get beyond the 200km barrier.

Last season was meant to be LEL prep season. More about experience of an audax than anything else.

I've got the distances nailed, happy I can do 300 miles in a day. All that's left really is the assuring myself I can do consecutive days at around or above the 200 mile mark

i hav e done about 13 or 14 200s now. Sat at a computer desk I think that next season I will do a 300 ,at the end of a 200 I think that 200 is plenty far enough for me thanks. Really undecided wether to go for a 300 or not.

 

[JoeyB]

If you've done a couple of dozen 200s then sounds like you have no other option but to do a 300+!!!
