Nant Y Pandy #parkrun was beautiful but due to flooding and a course change, hilly 😳
Although maybe riding 1000km last week also contributed to the slow time.

A massive 12 months of @audaxuk.bsky.social
Finished off yesterday with another 50km to round me up to 200 points.
Or 20,000km of Audax’s since the 1st of November.
Hopefully it’s enough to win me the national points championship.
Now for a bit of a break

Up north for the weekend. All set for Peculier Old 200km tomorrow from a Darlington. Not at all set for Last Chance Dales 200 on Sunday.
That’s more climbing in 1x200 than I do in most months 😬

only 16 days left of the Audax year so I decided to try and get my head back round commuting, rather than making every ride about points.
So I rode to work in civvys. I can’t remember the last time I rode in anything other than Lycra
The exception was my onelesscar cap and some shoes with cleats on

Mid week 50km ultra.
Almost the end of the @audaxuk.bsky.social year.
Still a few rides planned but it’s been a heck of a year

Had a very enjoyable day out riding a 200km @audaxuk.bsky.social calendar ride in Yorkshire on Wednesday. Route through the moors was stunning, but some of the hills 😬😬

Great company, great weather for late sept, loved it… shockingly type 1 fun

1 of 2) Great weekend.
On Friday I spent the day on the Paddle Steamer Waverley. I’ve been coming on since before I was born. Only one trip this year, but I’ll make up for that next year.
It was a birthday treat and very nice to just spend the day relaxing.
But I made up for that on Saturday

So today is my Fairlight Strael’s 4th birthday. In that 4 years I’ve ridden 48,500km (30,100miles).
It’s is the best thing I have ever bought. Ever.
So many Audax’s, my first Paris-Brest-Paris. I’ve laughed on this bike, and cried. I just feel at home on it.
Here’s to many more adventures

Great day 1 of the ACME Tourdax.
100km for Witham to Ely.
Great company, loads of stops and great weather.
I have a later start tomorrow as running Bens Yard #parkrun but then I have to play catch up and chase the group down and make up the 2hrs I’ll be starting late

Mixed it up. Back on the Secan for (embarrassingly) the first time since the start of July.
Changed a few things, 700c wheels (previously 650b) and new tyres, new mudguards, new bar tape.
All ready for 3 days of Tourdax this weekend

First run in over a month.
Don’t tell anyone but I actually enjoyed it. I’ve missed running.
Not fast or far. But felt good to be running.

Today’s 200 (Fairies Autumn 200) felt hard.
Surprisingly lumpy and a seeming head wind which direction we faced.
Still got it done.

Back to the ‘uts at Ugley for today’s 200, Essex Lanes.
I always find this one mentally hard as it’s 3 loops, giving plenty of chance to bail.
Bad picture of a picture, but it’s the hut being built in 1958, originally there were 5 cycling club huts here
