What's your next Audax?

[Ian H]

Seeing as navigation is a key part of Audaxing, I feel it important to point out that Uffculme is in Devon, not Somerset.

Oh dear. You are of course right. In my defence, it's only just inside Devon (but I should know better).

I am sure all the organizers have a copy of my work rota and conspired to only put rides within 100 miles of my house when I am working.
I have entered a Mark Rigby perm ,Benjamin Allens Spring tonic 200 so something to look forward to.

Rode the route of Mr. Pickwick's Autumnal Outing yesterday the Audax is on 15th October 206K from Tewkesbury. Really nice route. Lots of nice country lanes can't remember any horrendous climbs, descent into Winchcombe is interesting especially with temporary traffic lights halfway down.
The AAAnfractuous might be the next one I enter. Seem to be having trouble making plans and sticking to them at the moment!

My next AUK event might be my mate Sarah's in November. The baker-cum-café in Bampton seems keen for business even though a modest number of entrants does stretch their facilities to the limit. It's a nice trip round East Devon and a bit of Somerset.

In the meantime I shall be helping at the Border Castles 200, next weekend, now in memory of organiser and intrepid randonneur, Nik Peregrine, who died earlier this year. It's a fine route around the border country of South Wales.

Winchcombe Falling Leaves on Oct 2nd ..... if I've recovered from tomorrow's maiden hundred miler by then!
The organiser says there will be "several steep hills", and I have a horrible feeling that one of them might be in the first couple of miles, and might be one of the very few hills where I have ever got off and walked. Oh dear!

Tasty Cheddar on Oct. 1st

Great event

Did that last year. Cheddar Gorge at about 40 miles in, followed by hills, hills and more hills .... then Dundry!
I found it the toughest 100km I have done so far, but a really nice route. Will do it again another year.

AAA 1.75 (audax altitude award). Means that it is lumpy. Cheddar is 0.

Good luck. No shame in walking.

Flat for the first 50 kms then Cheddar, Hinton Blewitt & Dundry makes it a challenging second 50 kms to say the least

But great controls ease the pain ......

Entered the Etal-u-Can 200k from Galashiels on 15 October with @mcshroom - that's it! No major thread, no drama, no write up afterwards (well, maybe... )

@jefmcg will be pleased!

Cheddar did have an AAA rating last year, and the total climb was over 1500m. Comparing the routes, there are changes, but I'm not sure where 300m of climbing has gone.

 

[ColinJ]

Season of Mists - a very hilly local event (~2,500 m of climbing in 105 km, including some 20-25%).

Thanks. I walked..... More than once .... shamelessly.

 

[ColinJ]

I wasn't sure what that AAA meant. SoM is a 2.5!

I think it means AAA!!!
