Entered my First Audax - now what???

[Scoosh]

So, how many Audaxes have you entered at this stage @Fubar, since this thread started? lol

Just the 1, AFAIK … it is quite long, though …

No LEL then?

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, there's a hole in my bucket, in my bucket a hole.

Do you mean the thread... ?

I think one is enough for now, imagine how long the thread would be if I was doing LEL! @Scoosh would be giving me a yellow card.

Do I need a bucket??

Oh no, I didn't see this until after the shops have shut! You don't have your audax bucket? What are you going to do when you need to carry 5 gallons 22 litres of water?

I did a quick google to see if "audax bucket" produced any amusing images**. Oddly, this was the third picture:

** a text search for "audax bucket" comes straight back here.

Edit: Oh, yes - Good luck and have fun.

Good luck tomorrow @Fubar, may the weather be good for you.

Can't wait to read your LEL thread as this has had me chuckling many times.

Is there a way to follow @Fubar's progress live?
Oh no, forgot I'm working all day tomorrow, he will be well home before my shift finishes.
So, an extended ride report for us to look forward to: no pictures of course, who is not fast is last!
Good luck to CC Ecosse's pragmatic leader, ride safe!

Sounds more It's a Knockout than a bike ride!

26 pages for a 200k Audax - an LEL thread may see me banned from CC!

I'll try to remember to take a picture or 2, just for you

You're not in your bed yet?
Too much ?

Aiming to be later in bed, hopefully tire myself out - too many butterflies!

Oi ! Enough of this namby-pamby touchy-feely mince.

Just stop faffing about , get on yer bike and ride the 200k - and get back in time.


Then give a brief ride report - "I got my Brevet card, rode to all the Controls, got my card stamped or appropriate receipts and finished in time" will do fine.

Ride Safe.
