a return of the informal audax gathering, a chance to catch up, talk about rides old and new, plus get some good winter miles in.

Saturday 19th of February
Kings head (weatherspoons) from 6pm.

See you all there hopefully.

hurrah, well done postie! I am sure there will be some pootling down from the big smoke

I really should try to make it this time.

Somehow, audax and Spoons go together. I think it's the penny-pinching, slumming-it connection, like Fairy Liquid mudflaps

I have booked an Accessible Twin room for £89 at the spoons hotel (Kings Head), pay on arrival, amend or cancel up to noon on the day of arrival

anyone interested in a room share?

Good to see you on Saturday postie 👋
I've booked a room for 2x Things. We'll probably try and make a 200km DIY of it from Hertfordshire, maybe able to coordinate plans if others are thinking similarly. (TG?)

You may get ring side seats in the King's Head. 2 Saturdays in a row it's been squaddies v chavs.

I'm also hoping to be there...Definitely can't keep up with Rich or John.

Velo Boy and I have reluctantly decided to give Salisbury a miss tomorrow... riding anywhere, let alone across Salisbury plain, looks a trifle ambitious in the conditions forecast for tomorrow!

Good luck to anyone still planning to ride
Richard

The captain of audax club Portsmouth will still be there with his merry band of men.

After the last couple of covid years, i am making the best of things.

Ian H · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 February, 2022, 07:49:41 pm »

We have arrived. Cleaning up before descending to the bar.

What a cracking weekend that was. It was great to see those who made it and especial kudos for those who managed to ride there into the very strong winds. Thanks to Postie for organising. Roll on 2023.

Richard & I rode home into the teeth of Storm Franklin gales. It took us over 9hrs.
Thanks to Postie for organising. Good to see everyone.
