Despite having never ridden an Audax (tho I have ridden a couple of solo 300+ km rides), I keep coming back to this thread. If I had more of an any idea where I'd be in July, I'd in danger of submitting an entry.

You get, for your 60 British pounds...

Choice of village hall accommodation or camping on Thursday night.
Pre-ride feed on Thursday night.
Breakfast on Friday morning
Bag drop to Aberystwyth (and back)
3 visits to Aberystwyth at 310k, 605k and 885k. The Aberystwyth control is at the Boat Club and features:
Sleeping facilities in the boat shed. Camp beds & blankets will be available. Suggest you bring your own sleeping bag as well. (You can of course make your own arrangements for B&B or nearby campsite if you prefer)
Showers & changing facilities
A bar  :)
All food at Aber (3 dinners + breakfasts) is included.
Food at the finish.
75 hours (76.5 on AUK allowances) and 1020km of Wales' finest.
Weather (there'll be lots, that's guaranteed)

And probably a whole load of other stuff I haven't got round to organising yet.

How about a brevet card and route sheet. :P

I think this ride clashes with the Mersey 24 so I won't be riding it, but if you need a helper on Thursday and/or Friday, I'll come up as it's on my way to the Mersey.

Where does it actually start?
Apologies if I have missed that.  And I take it the start is also the finish again with 3 visits to Aber..... in between ?
I am trying to get this in my head so I can figure out how to break the news to Mrs G.  ;D

That's correct. Village Hall, you can sleep either in the hall or camp in the field outside on the Thursday night. The Pub in the village is recommended too.

Think this ride deserves a medal. I need to amass some tuits over the winter.

I was about to ask if the pub will be open as we finish in the morning. with 0700 start and 75 hours, that's a finish before 1000. "Beer, it's not just for breakfast"

The protein/carbohydrate ratio may not be at it's optimum as a recovery meal I suspect  ;D

That green thing atop the eggs just ruins it for me.  That bit of shrubbery is taking the space of a bit of streaky bacon as far as I can see.
