What's your next Audax?

[Ming the Merciless]

With tier 4, now back to looking at a DIY in my home county for Jan RRTY. Assuming calendar event I’m entered into will not run. Aiming for 9th Jan with two different loops via the house. So hot meal indoors between loops and head out with fresh hot chocolate on both loops.

Calendar event confirmed as postponed and DIY for next weekend now plotted. A 125km loop followed by a 76km loop.

Audax now suspended.

On the plus side I’ll now get a lie in next Saturday and I can still go out and ride my bike.

When I was checking the date was okay with my wife she responded with 😂


16th Jan is fine - but I've checked the forecast for that day, and its either going to snow/hail or be cold & icy with black ice.
Or did it say deep floods...

She knows the history of some of my winter audaxes !

Is your wife psychic? Blimey that's accurate - a month ahead!

My next entered event is Deanos (rescheduled) 1000k on April 31. In an effort to get motivated I have put stickers in my colour on the team holiday planner.
Seems too early to actually book anything; all plans seem v fragile currently :-\

That looks like a cracking ride, Matt. Will be extra challenging for many (of those entered) after so few long rides in the last 16 months. Getting the miles in has to be a 'must' if you want to enjoy it.
Severn Across aka LWL for me - early May.
As you say - all plans look fragile (even though I'll have been vaccinated (first dose) in March).

Why did you change your username?

I no longer ride a Yukon and fancied a change

The 100km event I have a place that was due to take place in March for has been postponed again until 2022. Sad, but the best decision.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I have an event I normally run end of March but I’m assuming it’ll still be lockdown of some form for many.

An interest in Audax and longer distance cycles was partly what I joined CC for, why I eventually opted for the Mason Resolution and mainly read only this forum area. (No experience to join in)
With Lockdown and home schooling 10 year olds the bikes never turned a wheel yet and looking unlikely to be much opportunity to do any audaxes for a while. Shame but least its longer to prepare and get some decent kit.

I've been keeping the legs turning with frequent outings of around 50km, occasionally longer. Crossing my fingers that my own events can go ahead.

I am crossing my fingers your events run too. And the others in the south west, otherwise the calendar looks very bare for the next nine months. Maybe April?? Perhaps May??

There are quite a few events scheduled but not published yet, as organisers wait and see.
