Hi from a Birmingham Audaxer

[SR John]

Hi,

I'm John, living in South Birmingham.

I took the plunge two years ago and started Audaxing. 2017 has been my first proper season with an SR series and LEL, and I'm currently 9 months into RRTY...

Are there any other Brummy AUKs here?

John

- I rode LEL as well, although I'm in Dewsbury.

Have a look at the Audax thread for others.

Hello,there ..

Welcome John.

Not an AUK'er myself but there is a forum here for that: https://www.cyclechat.net/forums/audax-brevet-and-randonnee.154/

 

[BrumJim]

Done a few, but wouldn't call myself an Audaxer.

Sunrise/Snowdrop about three times. Hope to do it again in 2018.
Kidderminster Killer once. When I was fitter and stronger.
One from Tamworth, to help a friend bag his first century ride.

I'm from south Birmingham too, haven't done any Audaxs yet, but I'm getting my mileage up to regular 30-40mile rides and thinking about taking the plunge and having a go at an Audax or maybe or club ride. Have been looking into the Cannon Hill cycling club and might give it a gander when I've built up a bit more confidence.

I might have a look at them. I went out with Beacon RCC recently and may join, but I'm not committed yet...

Shall all us South Brummies go for the Snowdrop/Sunrise Audax and put faces to forum names?

If you do decide to do this, then make sure that you get your entries in early coz it is always over subscribed

I'll have also have a look into Beacon RCC, haven't come across them yet.


With regards to the Snowdrop/Sunrise Audax @BrumJim that could be a really nice idea.

We meet outside the Black Horse in Northfield, 9am Sunday morning for a 09:15 departure. Usually three rides will be leaving, and once a month a newcomers run. And on the odd occasion a "Beacon Burst", which is a non stop 50 miler at a decent pace

That sounds good, can get to Northfield pretty easily, will have a read through the website and hopefully come along when this next run of jobs down south are out of the way.
