  2. Tiens les cyclistes franciliens ou du nord est du centre val de Loire, certains envisageraient de faire le BRM 200 dit le convivial, avec ses 4 départs/ravitos.
    Les organisateurs sont super sympa et le parcours est chouette et assez aisé.

    msdchartrescyclo.fr/nos-brm-20 pour Chartres
    cyclo.vcmb.fr/organisations/br pour Montigny-le-Bretonneux

  3. I decided to withdraw from my calendar BRM 600 at the end of the month and do a DIY 600 instead. Not only will it save (a lot of) cash and use less carbon it’s so much less effort. Riding a 600 is hard enough without all the travel at either end. And I’ll still get an SR for the year (although it won’t count towards PBP pre-qualification).

    It does mean I’m solo, but I get to plan the route (will stitch together existing routes with a sleep stop in my home office). That’ll please Nansen who always likes me to feed him before dawn. Just have to obey my alarm!

  4. Yeah, #audax folks, bad day to do the Trefil Travail. Most of the route appears to be on fire.

  5. We were doing a night ride , riding 230km to another city by bicycle between 6pm and 6am. After having breakfast and most of were planning to go home by train, one guy was like "I live in that other city that's another 120km, I'm just going to ride there now." 🤯

    Out on the 2/2 for this months #RRtY DiY #audax

    Feeling much better on the wheel this week. On the lighter bike. Its going well. Comfy enough. Makes me wonder why sometimes I'm so reluctent to make an obvious choice.

  7. I found that very hard going. Much more than i would normall. Combination of things. Very poor road surface pretty much alk the way from about 65km to 155km. It was realky hot. No riding for the last ten days. Felt like packing it in a good few times. Really did not enjoy this one. Glad I finished within time though. And I had to repair a flat. Ho0e the next one goes better. Fingers crossed.

  8. Out on a 200 DiY. First ride for about ten days. Not yet half way. I am boiling and knackered already. #audax #biketooter

  9. @ascentale
    A8: went for a DIY #audax this week and it happened there was a ford at pretty much the half point.
    Now I am pounding on designing a route with many fords but looks like it will be difficult. Anyway early days

  10. Just done my BR for August. This time I was blessed with a ford at the half way point

  11. @ascentale @bikenite
    A6: I always enjoyed cycling when I was younger, but that was a bit more casual and utilitarian.

    The idea of going for 200km+ #audax would have left younger me puzzled :)

  12. @ascentale
    A7: I am doing all right. Tracking well ahead of my 5,000km total distance for the year.
    I have done a couple of #Audax but less long distance than last year. Getting started on a RRtY challenge (1 x 200km audax for 12 consecutive calendar months).

  13. I've completed the bike ride 51km well within #audaxuk time.
    But it was hard!
    Lumpier than expected, hotter than forecast, and the wind was gusting in all directions - none of them favourable to me.
    I can't say that more than 10% of the ride was scenic - Northamptonshire has some lovely areas and villages, but I didn't see much of that today.

  14. I am going to have another go at #Rrty (#dodecaudax pour les français). Last time I failed in December (was put off by a shed load of bad drivers that day).

    Trying to recruit around #RichmondUponThames if anyone wants to have a partner to keep themselves motivated

    #Audax

  15. Aaah, I want to do the 50:50@50 Half Insch #audax, but the train leaves super early and doesn't get in until 15 minutes after it starts. I really don't want to have to drive to go for a bike ride. #BikeTooter

  16. Good morning.
    I'm still not quite right in my own skin yet. Stopping that medication was the right thing to do, but it took a while to unbalance me, and it'll take a while for my head to stop wobbling.
    Bonus though - my thumbs hurt a lot less!

    The forecast here is for around 30°C but only for today.
    I'm playing in a Petanque league match this evening. I'm cycling there as someone else wants her own car!

    I've got a 50km #Audax DIY planned for tomorrow while mother & daughter are doing whatever girls do at a posh spa. I'm hoping the forecast for cooler weather is correct.

    Stay balanced, enjoy your Wednesday

    #Today

  17. So I cycled to wales today. Let’s see if this gets validated as DIY #audax

  18. I am out on a 200km DIY #Audax and by luck I rode past the starting point of my first Audax

  19. Back home from a 55km wedding anniversary cycle ride.
    By heck it's hot out there!
    I was starting to struggle more than a bit towards the end.

    Rode for a while with someone doing a 200km Audax ride from his home in Wrexham - chapeau!

    Had lunch at the Stoney Cove diving centre café - cheap and cheerful with a good view over the 'lake'.

  20. A #BlogPost with a few pictures of the ACME Grand - West to the Sea 1000k audax ride I completed with a few others between the 16th - 19th July 2027.

  21. If anyone wants to know what doing a couple of longer brevets does to your body here it is.
    The two peaks in my resting HR are straight after a 400 and a 300. And as one might hope I am now ‘fitter’ than before these two insults to my cardiovascular system!

    It should also be said that I’ve never had HRV this high due to long term alcohol consumption. My recovery is transformed since I gave up booze. My baseline used to be in the 20s (RMSSD not SDNN).
