What's your next Audax?

[Ajax Bay]

I've entered my first PBP-qualifier

A month later than me - I have even had acknowledgement of a place in the Bryan Chapman Memorial back from the organiser (after postal entry).

Back to the Smoke

I went to the midday start of 'Back to the Smoke' this year and @Ian H dished out the cards outside Exeter St David's station and then said "Well I suppose you may as well go!" in his time-honoured fashion. About 25 seemingly well-prepared riders set of, and another two an hour later after their delayed train came in.

BCM has been on my to-do list for some years now. I will get round to it one day... Maybe I will make it my target for next year.

I wanted to do it this year but the timings didn't work out. I love the idea of getting the train down to Exeter on Saturday morning then essentially riding home. (Might even continue on past Marylebone into Kent if I feel up to it. We'll see...)

If you want a place to ride in 2019, you need to enter immediately. Down to the last 20% of places as last reported a few days ago.

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+

I was just thinking that I had never heard of local event 'Witham and Blues' but then I discovered that it is from the Waddington in Lincolnshire, not the one in Lancashire!

I'm in for Season of Mists!

I must admit when we did the ride to Waddington I did think that's a fair run ! I did not realise there was a Lancashire version !!

Witham and Blues 200k View attachment 431912 ready !

That's a lot of kit for 200k. I'll have a small saddlebag. And I'm not prepped.

I had the same size saddlebag on my recent 600 and that was only because I had to fit my bivvy, sleeping bag and mat in it. For the 1000 in June I had a hotel sleep stop so used the Barley and found that plenty big enough.

It’s my new saddle bag, got to give it a whirl attached to the Brookes

It’s my new saddle bag

Ah, fair enough!

The 600 was actually the first time I've had a proper reason to my Super C even though I've had it five years. I've thought about it many times but it always seems a bit overkill for anything other than full touring.

The other saddle bag is a tad too small so I thought the Nelson will do for Audax and full days out.

Ready for the drive to Lincolnshire for some Audax and old aircraft therapy
