Yay, I've entered my first Audax,

the Old Peculier 200 at end the month. Well, after volunteering on LEL, twice, it's about time I saw for myself what the fuss is about.

Wish me luck!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I obviously must have done, too long ago for me to remember now.  I've just completed my 610th.

I hope you enjoy this - do allow enough time for a half at the White Bear. I'll see you there. :)

Welcome aboard.  You'll love it.

Now, is it a bit soon to be talking to you about The French Rideā€¦.. :demon:
Why should anybody steal a watch when they can steal a bicycle?

(My best chance at the French Ride was probably in 2003... only just started Audaxing, but also a mere youth of only 61 years.)

Happy Riding, Yoav!

My first 200 was in 85, the 300th anniversary of the Monmouth Rebellion.  I rode the French one ten years later.

Good luck!

Thanks all. My first encounter with Audax (and this forum) was in 2013 as a volunteer on LEL. That experience inspired me to ride it this year. But as 2017 neared, I said to myself, "who am I kidding, I can't do this" and volunteered again (was controller at Alston). This time, again inspired by meeting the riders (esp. the VC 167 lot!) I decided to take the plunge. I may hate it, of course.
