Kicked of the first of my audax calendar events this morning. Didn’t think I’d be running any this year. Different format to the norm but still nice to set riders off after quick chats on a lovely sunny day. Good day to be riding audax. I have my second event to kick off tomorrow. Same picnic bench outdoor start

You can read some very long docs from AUK for details, but BASICALLY:
- for the rider, just expect staggered start times and (probably) smaller field sizes. Controls, speeds, rules - nothing new.
- organisers OBVIOUSLY doing various things to reduce virus transmission. <see every other sport, business etc in the UK

Off on a 300 permanent tonight, starting about 11pm. Expecting some cold winds to be blowing.

It is a fairly circular one, and I’ve opted for the tailwind finish. So tailwind, headwind, crosswind, tail wind looks likely pattern.

All done, winds 30 mph gusting to 50 mph and rain from 3am till about an hour before I finished. I dare not stop for too long overnight for fear of losing all sensation in hands or risk hypothermia. The toughest 300 I have done by far.
The COVID 19 curfew preventing a refuge with hot food overnight at McDs was telling. The night was very very long till I hit Norwich for breakfast. Managed to get a Chinese for lunch in Swaffham to prepare me for the headwinds in the fens.

Here I am with the blue fleece on. I’m taking a shot of a rider. You can see the social distance I kept during the event. I was on my Brompton for my event starts as it has a nice t bag for carrying all the paperwork including the audax uk banner.

They were my audaxes, I was the organiser. I wasn’t riding the event that day. Having said that LEL and PBP have been completed on Bromptons.
