What's your next Audax?

[Ajax Bay]

That looks like a cracking ride, Matt. Will be extra challenging for many (of those entered) after so few long rides in the last 16 months. Getting the miles in has to be a 'must' if you want to enjoy it.
Severn Across aka LWL for me - early May.
As you say - all plans look fragile (even though I'll have been vaccinated (first dose) in March).

Is your wife psychic? Blimey that's accurate - a month ahead!

Wasn‘t far off was it!

I no longer ride a Yukon and fancied a change

The 100km event I have a place that was due to take place in March for has been postponed again until 2022. Sad, but the best decision.

I have an event I normally run end of March but I’m assuming it’ll still be lockdown of some form for many.

An interest in Audax and longer distance cycles was partly what I joined CC for, why I eventually opted for the Mason Resolution and mainly read only this forum area. (No experience to join in)
With Lockdown and home schooling 10 year olds the bikes never turned a wheel yet and looking unlikely to be much opportunity to do any audaxes for a while. Shame but least its longer to prepare and get some decent kit.

I've been keeping the legs turning with frequent outings of around 50km, occasionally longer. Crossing my fingers that my own events can go ahead.

I am crossing my fingers your events run too. And the others in the south west, otherwise the calendar looks very bare for the next nine months. Maybe April?? Perhaps May??

There are quite a few events scheduled but not published yet, as organisers wait and see.

Fingers crossed it will not be too long. I have a DIY I'm wanting to do

This extra time on my hands has given me the chance to look over what awards I could work towards though as I like a target - work out what distances I need to cover for each ride, etc.

And my AUK buff arrived today too.

Clocked up 87km yesterday. Longest since audax suspended. Thought I’d remind the legs about what longer rides feel like. Would have rounded up to 100km had I got out the house earlier. Maybe I’ll manage that next week before the legs forget how to do distance.

Looking forward to when it’s possible to do a few different roads and lanes other than from home

Just keep ticking over with those 2-3 hour rides or so. Events will be coming back but hard to be sure when yet. It’s a watch and wait game with no clear dates to work to.
