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 😁🙃👍

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
I'll be making a few trips to Bristol over the next few weeks as I've also entered Barry's Bristol Bash and the Missed Connection, which I haven't done in a few years #cycling #audax #willshills #gwraudax

Last audax before Christmas in the morning. Start is 30 mins bike away, but TBH I'll probably get a train as I'm at Bristol Parkway. I'm only half prepared as I had a headache all day and as soon I got to my room about 8:30pm I crashed out 😴😴😴 Not my usual prep before an audax #cycling #gwraudax
I'm still missing a "yes I know Owen Wood" sticker though. Maybe, just maybe on the Stansted Airport Express in December.... 🤔😉 #gwraudax #willshills #acmeaudax
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 😉
🧵 8/9 ...off the Strawberry Line at Yatton & up to Backwell where I made my 2nd alteration to go up the cycle route to Ashton Court & back across the Clifton suspension bridge instead of climbing Belmont Hill... #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight
🧵 7/9 ...heading inland & back up towards Bristol, the route passed Crook Peak & joined the Strawberry Line at Winscombe, my 3rd cycle path. Stopped at the Pulman Cafe in Sandford for more food and coffee and quickly on again... 🚂🚃🚴♂️☕️ ##cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight
🧵 6/9 ...Brean Down was the turning point on this out & back route, it was literally the end of the road, plus it was the only manned control at the National Trust cafe where it was time for lunch. It was also at 60ish km & bizarrely the last control... ☕️🍰 #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight
🧵 5/9 ...a little bit of information about the bird hide on the Uphill to Brean section of the Pier to Pier cycle route... #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight
🧵 4/9 ...from Weston to Brean via Uphill on the Pier to Pier way where an info was supposed to be but it turned out it was at Brean, but I found views of Brean Down & Steep Holme island, someone with a better head for heights than I & a giant ice cream.. 🍦 #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight
🧵 3/9 ... after a quick stop it was on to the Pier to Pier cycle route and down to Weston-super-Mare for the next info control... #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight
🧵 2/9 ...this brought me to the first control (info only) at the Lakeside Cafe in Portishead before heading down the coast road to the next info at Clevedon where I stopped for coffee & a donut... ☕️🍩 #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight
A 🧵 about the Seaside Delight audax on Saturday, but I made 2 slight variations. For the first, after crossing the Clifton suspension bridge, I dropped down the hill & out along the Avon Gorge instead of crossing the Downs as I'd never done it before... #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight 1/9
That's audax No.1 done this weekend. 2 hrs late finishing, but 7½ hrs for a 100km that was 20% gravel paths was a bit tight if you ask me. Lovely route though, definitely enjoyed that despite not qualifying as finished #cycling #audax #gwraudax #SeasideDelight 🏖🚴♂️
Another travelodge in Bristol. Must be the start of the winter audaxes. Off to the coast tomorrow on the Seaside Delight.
Bike and kit ready and an early starters breakfast.
🚴♂️🥐☕️ #cycling #audax #bskycycling #gwraudax
Punctures aside it was a cracking day for it and a beautiful and fascinating route 🚴♂️🌞😎 #cycling #audax #gwraudax
Job done ✔️ 9 hrs exactly. 3 mins shy of cut off time. Talk about cutting it fine! 😳 An hour slower than previous rides but it was a bastard of a route in places and that wind didn't help. It nearly ended in disaster though..... #cycling #audax #gwraudax ....(next post reveals why)
First audax of the year tomorrow, the Jack and Grace memorial audax. At least it's going to be dry even if it is gonna be a little cold ❄️🥶
Temperature: 2°C to 6°C
Wind: 4.2 to 6.8 mph, with gusts up to 12.7 mph
Probability of precipitation: 0%

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
