Entered my First Audax - now what???

[Scoosh]

He's made it. Checked in on Facebook 40 mins ago

Not sure which is better/ worse

• knowing @Fubar has finished
• knowing you have been stalking following him all day
• knowing Fubar has been posting when he should have been riding

Nonsense... your first 200 is like your first hit on a crack pipe. It's a slippery slope!

I think there is something you haven't told us … dark secrets from your past … ???


… and Chapeau to @Fubar - not an easy 1st audax (so the next ones will be easier ! )

Not really, a couple of DIY 200s, a couple of Snow Roads, and the right to use the phrase "as much fun as a wet 400(™)"

Well done @Fubar ! enjoy the slippery slope!

Oh yes. Know that feeling

Good**, eh ?




** not that I would know, of course

Well done @Fubar

I believe entries are open for LEL if you pay a deposit but they may have sold out....

Nice ride, @Fubar

Now awaiting 30 pages of "Completed my first audax - now what???"

The worst? None of those. It's ...

• Updating his so-called friends on facebook, but ignoring his real friends here who have been on this 29 page journey with him.

Nice ride, @Fubar

Now awaiting 30 pages of "Completed my first audax - now what???"

Followed shortly afterwards by "Entered LEL - now what???"

 

[Fubar]

I don't know, you go away to ride an Audax and the knives come out...

Sorry @jefmcg, Facebook was easier to quickly update via phone at a stop than waiting on CC loading. I knew my CC friends on there would keep you all updated

@martint235 there is no rush - I've been an Audax member since last December

@Scoosh - the 29 pages weren't ALL me. People were obviously keen to impart their knowledge - and very welcome it was too. BTW where would you like me to post the ride report??

 

[Fubar]

Oh and thank you all for your kind advice, words and thoughts - it all genuinely helped.

Oh BTW here are the ride stats, if at all of interest:

Anyway you are Scottish, you eat mountains for breakfast.
