I've just seen that I can register a 50km ride as an Audax UK DIY ride.
So that's something to aim at.
I knew I had life membership for something other than the excellent magazine.

Doing audaxes is why the CycleStreets app on Android defaulted to kilometres, and once I'd written the sat nav it said "ArrivΓ©e" and not something like "you have reached your destination.

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".

This morning after escaping Watford I was meeting a friend back in Windsor, but as I was up at 6am I had time to kill before our rendezvous at 11. Avoiding London's orbital car park I found myself in Chalfont St Peter.
I'd not been before but the name was somehow familiar.
Ah yes! #AudaxUK π
I'm running out of room on my mudguard for stickers. Road CC #stayawesome #audaxuk #ridethetrafalgarway and now #gwraudax #willshills added to the collection.
There's still room for a "Yes I do know Owen Wood" sticker though π

After missing Ken's Autumn Colours today, I'm going to ride it as a DIY tomorrow.
This will then be validated, providing I can work out how to upload my gpx file.
I have no idea how to do it since they changed the system for entering a DIY event π€·ββοΈ #cycling #audax #audaxuk
More Audax UK stuff arrived today in the form of merch this time. That stuff is a buff π€ #audaxuk #cycling
I've added to my badge tally today.
The older brevet 500 & Grimpeur pin I got with the 2nd Trafalgar Way medal. The Brevet populaire 100 & 200 badges I got earlier this year. Today I received the 2 randonneur 500 badges, the brevet 500 & 1000 badges & brevet 1000 pin π #cycling #audax #audaxuk 1/3
This weekend is going to be odd.
I'm volunteering on Sunday at the Northstowe control of the London Edinburgh London Audax cycling event.
But I've got to deposit my wife at her sister's place and collect her afterwards.
On Sunday night we're stopping in a Premier Inn near Cambridge to avoid the [β¦]

Iβve just entered the Gospel Pass 600; I have to ride at least a little in Wales as I am not doing the massive but beautiful Sufferfest that is the Bryan Chapman this year. #walesneverfails #audaxuk
Sun coming up for Moonrakers and Sunseekers 2022... the following year I was cooking breakfast for hungry riders and this year I'll be tackling this beautiful 300k route again, through the night, past Stonehenge and under a full moon #Willshills #audaxUK #audaxclubbristol #gwraudax #ride4red
