Yesterday's audax was one of my best yet despite Dave's efforts to send to Scotland. One of only 3 I've done in under 8 hrs by. Ride time: 5 hrs 43 min & Elapsed time: 7 hrs 45 mins #cycling #audax #EmilyWardlesSpringExcursion
That's me ding dang diddly done! 7 hrs & 45 mins. 50km of heading north to Chaddesley Corbett, then 55km of headwinds all the way back 🌬🌪🌪🚴♂️😩 #cycling #audax #EmilyWardlesSpringExcursion
Chaddesley Corbett control done and we're now on the return, but as the service at Rowberrys is always so slow I'm eating in Droitwich where service is faster. There's just a little headwind to contend with now 🌬🌪🌪🚴♂️😬 #cycling #audax #EmilyWardlesSpringExcursion
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 RwGPS
Next 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 […]
Morning! We have begun. Heading north, nice tailwind at the moment. Not so sure about the ride south later 🚴♂️☕️😬 #cycling #audax #EmilyWardlesSpringExcursion
Morning! Fuel for the ride, it's audax time 😋

A day of mixed blessings on yesterdays audax, didn't complete the audax route as I missed 2 controls (one accidentally) but got back my own way after a brutal headwind for most of the route to the point I returned 🌬🌧🌧😩 #cycling #audax #BarrysBristolBash
Back at ride control, but the audax despite me doing 110km today is a DNF. The headwind and the cold drizzly rain coming back was energy sapping.
I missed 2 controls and made my own route back from Keynsham across town. It turned into a type 2 adventure in the end #cycling #audax #BarrysBristolBash
Well,I turned up and getting there slowly, wish that headwind would sod off! The climb to Somerset Monument was worse than I remember it. Will kinda be glad when it's done. Couldn't remember last years apart from the 3 punctures I had. I think i hated it then too 🤣 #BarrysBristolBash #audax #cycling
I'm switching to the Arcadex for tomorrow's audax, it's been a while since I rode it. Also done a bit of rear mudguard decoration with the help of some heli tape as they don't stick very well #cycling #audax #gwraudax #acmeaudax 😁🙃👍
I haven't ridden an Audax for a few years but I'm still a member of AUK and love the members magazine. Every ride report is either "I had a lovely day out on my bike" or "I suffered a physical and emotional crisis on this ride".

I finished the lovely Hovedstaden #200km #cycling #brevet by #audax #denmark, through mist and wind and along fjords, now a #randonneur in/through eleven countries

The front cover of Audax UK magazine, "Arrivee". Two female cyclists looking very happy on their bicycles.
Arrivee est arrivee!

Annoyingly, one of the rear mudguard bolts let go and I had to do a running repair. Never leave home without zip ties and an Ikea ziplock bag! 😀
This was the second time it happened, after coming loose on last year’s Henley Hilly Hundred #Audax.
#Cycling
10/10 Finish control at the Holly Bush Inn and arrived at 18:35 after a latish start of 8:10.
My fastest 100km is under 8 hrs but given the extra 20km, climbing and extra stops, I'll happily except 10 hr 30 min 👍
I'll will add, the weather we had was perfect 🌞👌 #cycling #audax #willshills
9/10 Joined the Two Tunnels cycle route at Midford and caught the sunset just as I was crossing the river Avon in Bath, then it was back up the railway path to Warmley as the daylight faded 🌅🚴♂️ #cycling #audax #willshills
8/10 a different diversion, this time to avoid a gravelly section of railway path, brought me to Norton St Philip. A place I've only ever previously seen at night on the Exmouth Exodus & final stop before for a little pick-me-up 😋 ##cycling #audax #willshills
7/10 now I will confess I missed the trip through Longleat and made haste to Frome on the main road to catch up, but as I'd already gained 5km I felt less guilty. However, the climbing back over the Mendips was unavoidable #cycling #audax #willshills
6/10 I missed the view of Glastonbury Tor with my last hill diversion but Alfred's Tower couldn't be missed and nor the climb to the 2nd control in Maiden Bradley 😳 #IYKYK #cycling #audax #willshills
5/10 Pilton Hill was one that was simply swapping one hill for another, Pilton co-op was the first control. Pyle church was the biggest hill diversion that added an extra 5km but was a much faster route & Greggs in Bruton served as a quick 1pm lunch stop 🍕🍩😋 #cycling #audax #willshills
4/10 when I signed up it was a last minute booking last week, I didn't study the map in detail. Climbing out of Keynsham my garmin alerted me to the fact I was on climb 1 of 20 😳 so a snakier route south was done to miss a few out #cycling #audax #willshills
3/10 Early cafe stop sat out in the sun at Chewton Mendip as I'd set off without my morning coffee or a decent breakfast. The Cherry Backwell was rather lish 😋🍰☕️ #cycling #audax #willshills
2/10 Going back to the beginning, it was an 8am start from Warmley Waiting Rooms, and warm it definitely wasn't ❄️🚴♂️🥶 #cycling #audax #willshills
In reverse to my usual threads I'll start with the route map and profile of yesterday's Wyches and Wizards audax #cycling #audax #willshills
I will remind you for someone that hates hills I kinda wondered why I did it, the was a variation on route as it was only an advisory... 1/10
Well, that was fun. I think. For someone that hates hills that some kind of sordid self punishment 😳
Started from Warmley waiting rooms, warm it definitely wasn't ❄️
But I got back with plenty of time, that's the main thing. Full story to follow 👍 #cycling #audax #gwraudax #willshills
