What's your next Audax?

[matticus]

Kirtons 600 - 2 July
East & West Coasts 600 - 9 July

The plan is to ride all of those, but it may not happen due to a range of aspects; i.e. my son's got a race in Austria 7-9 July and I may have to get him there.

Austria is at least 600km from Calais - so there seems a simple solution to this.

Austria is at least 600km from Calais - so there seems a simple solution to this.

But ... we've also got to get two race bikes, kit, spare wheels, clothing and race clothes there. Please don't suggest we put it in a trailer and tow it there ...

600+km riding my son's Cervelo =

In April there is:
Man of Kent 200 - which I've always fancied but getting to Tonbridge that early on a Sunday would mean I'd have to drive. And I prefer Saturdays anyway

Oasts and Coasts 300. I'm not up for a 300, and anyway it clashes with my wife's birthday.

Both of these I usually do every year anyway.
I love the Oasts & Coasts Audax. It has a great mix of everything. Flat, climbing, inlands and sea. I usually ride to and from the start at Meopham which bumps it up into a nice 360km.

The Horsepower 200. Relatively flat East Anglian route. First 200 for a few years. I've ridden this previously and thoroughly enjoyed it, the company, the scenery.

Hoping to do Charnwood in the Spring in April. Still have excessive lockdown/working from home weight though. I haven't done anything over 60km this year yet, so we'll see.

I gave all the details to the event organiser hopefully it won't cause Terry to much extra work.

No, it's just logging for stats and possible insurance claims.

Sarah's Mad March 200* up next weekend. My back seems to have recovered enough to function as required.

*I think she still has a few places.

There's a distinct lack of Audax in the SE/kent region at the moment.

You need to pop up to Herts / Essex / Suffolk. Plenty of audax going on.

The

Double Dutch, Ship of the Fens

at Easter. Been on Easter Arrows in years before pandemic , so never done this one before. Hopefully we’ll get the horizon filled tulips or such like.

Hopefully doing the Sunrise Audax on Saturday, child care permitting.

If I ride there and back, then it's a total of over 100 miles, which means I can do the Rutland one in early April (200k) which starts just down the road from my Mum's, which sorts out child care issues. But without the one on Saturday, I don't think I can commit to it.

Well, managed both the Sunrise Audax out of Whit Lenge Garden Centre at the end of February, then managed the "Another Slice of Rutland" 200k on Saturday. Would rather have had the warmth of earlier on that week. We started a couple of degrees below zero and encountered snow and light hail as well as rain, but we were very lucky in avoiding some of the worst of the showers, and had plenty of sunshine to bring out the best of the villages and countryside of east Leicestershire and Rutland (and a bit of north Northamptonshire).

Was lovely to re-visit a lot of familiar locations from >30 years back.

 

[footloose crow]

Falmouth audax next Sunday. 100k around familiar roads (for me).

Weather forecast is a bit unpromising; wind, rain.

 

[DCLane]

I'm booked for the Plains 300 on 15th/16th April - only I hadn't figured it was an 11pm start. Hopefully it'll be warmer than it is currently. And dry.

 

[Ian H]

I appear to have persuaded myself to enter yet another Bryan Chapman 600. My offer to help instead was refused.
I'd better get some kms under my belt.

Due to warm up next week I think

Double Dutch 200 was great and first audax in shorts this year. Next audax is Moors and Wolds 400 in mid May.
