What's your next Audax?

Did a test ride of (most of) the 110km route for my September event this morning. It’s a revised route with a different middle section to last year’s edition and I’m very pleased with it. Not sure if the riders will feel so happy - it’s a fair bit lumpier than last year’s route.

1,309m of climbing in 96km according to my Garmin. Not AAA territory but definitely not flat.

I need to get entering some more.

Next up Devils Punchbowl 100

last 30km was the worst I've felt on a bike in years. Too damned hot.

Got a couple to do to complete this years RRTY. Need to decide if standard 200 or fit in a 300 and 400 to complete SR for this year.

Make hay while the sun shines and isn’t too hot. Go big.

I’ve decided to go for my first RRTY which would complete in April all being well. Worst months saved for last. Not clever. Surprisingly, my August window is one of the trickiest. I’ll have to do a mid week ride I think.

RRTY was tougher this year due to winter. Year before was much easier due to mild winter. Did my Jan 2017 200 in shorts and summer jersey.

After properly joining Audax U.K. I went mad and signed up for 200k Witham and Blues from Waddington and 105k Season of Mists which I will ride to and from the start to make it a nice Imperial 100+

Hopefully the Blackpool-Glasgow-Blackpool 600k this weekend depending on the weather: http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/18-111/

Anyone else riding this?

I've entered my first PBP-qualifier - @Ian H's Back to the Smoke 400 (25/5/19). Should be fun. I've made a shortlist of rides I'm thinking of doing for qualifiers but most of them aren't open for entry yet. Given how quickly the WCW 600 and LWL 400 have filled up, I'm thinking I'd best sign up reasonably promptly when they do open.

Next ride will probably be the Fairies Crown & Anchor 200 (7/10/18) but I've not got round to entering yet. After that will aim to do a couple of the ACME Winter 100 series.

As a bigger 2019 challenge Ive been route planning St David's - Lowestoft C2C over two days (not an Audax) but at even with a convenient overnight stop with friends about half way I think it would probably be beyond me.

That sounds like a cracking ride. Looks like it would be a bit over 600km. You should definitely do it as a DIY audax.
