Back home after my 52km bike ride.
It's seriously breezy out there - more so than I expected.
Plus, I must have planned the route to include every hill in south Leicestershire!
Still, it's completed and it's within time, so I can submit it for validation as a #AudaxUK BP ride. My first in a couple of decades (I need to check that).Now, I'm absolutely knackered.

Out yesterday on the helpers ride route checking for next week's Oasts and Coasts 300 National.
Good company. Fine weather. Challenging route in places.
Rye to Hythe via Romney Marsh fills me with dread but to be fair it was not too bad yesterday. Nearly always against the wind for 40k on this stretch. Not so yesterday.
Same goes for Birchington to Reculver, Whitstable to Graveney and the long insidious climb up to the top of Hollingbourne Hill through Newnham, Doddington and Ringlestone.
Riding with seasoned audaxers made all the difference. I pushed myself much more than I do on a DiY. Stayed with it though, took my turn at the front and never got dropped.
A good day out on the bike.

It's Thursday so I've been on my usual Wednesday bike ride.
At 41.4km this is the furthest I've ridden in one go since March 2017.
My quest for fitness continues - I suppose I should have been grateful for the headwind on this ride, but it made it hard work, particularly on the hilly bits!I discovered a handy new coffee place in Kirby Mallory 👍
I'm still pondering entering my 50km DIY #AudaxUK ride next week. 🤔

If you ride audaxes in the UK and use a Garmin I’d highly recommend the ConnectIQ Audax Control Alert app which tells you when you are close to a control and then when you are close enough to register in the E-Brevet app (or keep your eyes peeled for the physical control if you like the old fashioned brevet cards).
-
The audax organiser has circulated the route sheet.
After several years of doing this audax I am tired of the stupid climbing on the "official" route so am mapping an alternative that gets me to all the controls, just 1000m less hillily.
There are no INFO controls on the hilly sections so our only responsibility is to get to the named controls.by whatever route.
It will be interesting to see if anyone else has the same strategy.

I may not be a good randonneur but I try to keep up appearances. Today’s pen as I steer our Graduate Board.

Plains 300 was a bust. Caught my daughter’s cold and shredded by headwind. I’ve finished this one twice before, never had such a difficult night.
Made it halfway with over 20 mins in hand but no way was I finishing.
-
Getting nervous about my upcoming 300 on Saturday night and it’s after-effects as I’m chairing our Graduate Board on Monday morning ;-)
Pretty well-prepared though so maybe I will be fine…
Won’t be riding in on Monday though.

A few pictures and words from yesterday's #RRtY ride. Another 200 in the bag.

Cycling - plan to get fit.
This morning:
• I've spent a tenner on 3 DIY brevet cards from Audax UK.
• I've mapped out two rides of just over 50km on RwGPSNext week I'll aim for the 33k ride I've got planned.
In theory I'll do the 40km route the following week, then I'll perhaps do one of the 50km routes without the brevet, and go for the first brevet in a month's time.Best laid plans etc etc

Ready for long night riding again, apologies for the messy wiring it’s functional I assure you. Dynamo hub, front and rear light and usb charger for my Garmin.

Beginning to get excited for the Plains 300 in a few weeks. Nothing like gathering in a car park at 2300 o’clock to ride to a fast food restaurant in Wales and back.
Here’s a video of the event from a few years ago when I rode it in 2015 (RIP Damon I miss you):

May have to break out the tangerine gilet again LOL (I’m riding on the left at the opening of the video with the retroreflective mudguards and the red helmet light)

This was a good ride but I think I’ll be riding a less aggressive bike for my next event (an overnight 300)!
Here’s a nice picture of a typical HQ at the arrivée and a famous fellow rider and also his more traditional bicycle as pictured at the start.

Just entered my first Audax UK Brevet of the year, seems like an impossible task at the moment given everything in my life but if I don’t enter definitely it won’t be possible!
One of the nice things about Audax UK events is if you enter and don’t start you don’t lose too much money and the organiser gets a little donation.

@MikeFromLFE Loved it. Looks like an extension of #Arrivee from #AudaxUK

Tough middle section on today’s midweek DIY #audax and very cold up on the moors, so the planned Co-Op stop has become a cafe stop.

First #audax in two months, quite excited in spite of the weather.
Thanks to @WilliamNB for the fast delivery on the new cap.

Done. Last 100km were a struggle but the tailwind helped. #cycling #bikeToot #bikeTooter #AudaxUK #AUK #SuperRandonneur https://strava.app.link/RiMHmoOqeCb

Very enjoyable first 100km, warm and sunny, not too windy. Stopped for snacks on the village green of a pretty village in North Yorkshire. #cycling #bikeToot #bikeTooter #AudaxUK #AUK
