Thanks for the replies all.
It's not really a big issue tbh as I doubt I would have been able to drag the other half along anyway and I plan to do the rides as part of my training which I always like to do solo. I will mail Colin and see what he says though.
Oh, and even if he did come along, I'd be up front pacing as I always have to be. He is too fast for me and I can't hold his back wheel for long, he isn't great at realising I've been dropped, and junctions would no doubt get missed.
Plus I always carry all my own kit, even on local training rides, as you never know when you may get separated.
It was more a thought than anything. You know, nice summer day, some sunshine, a bit of chatting and a few pub stops. But I guess that yes, this isn't the spirit of Audax. I mean, where is the pain, suffering and hard man ethic
which Cambrians are you doing ?
Well...at the moment I have the five 100 kms (as can hopefully fit them in round work if over that way) and 2a 2b 2c 2d and 3a.
