I've paid my dues with wet/cold January 200s, I'm too soft for them now. Well done for getting round - it will make the Spring/Summer rides feel soooooo nice! xxx

I’ll be doing a short 50 permanent this week; Don’t Forget Your Halo!
Update 19/02/2026:
Completed the Audax today after a 6-2 shift, a nice route on roads I’m sort of familiar with but took me longer than I expected. However, Grane Rd out of Haslingden to the second control is much better now they’ve added average speed cameras! I did that road once years ago before the cameras and it was not fun then as the 50mph was ignored with cars zooming towards the M65 so I was a little apprehensive. Still I’d recommend avoiding rush hour if you can. It does say this on the Audax description too but it was the only way I was going to fit it in this week.
