My brevet card for the Staffordshire Lanes 102k came back yesterday. I was ridiculously happy about that. My first audax. Hoping to do two or three next month alone.

The chap on the Brompton (Nick Wilkinson) finished LEL in time, but has since been able to afford some grown-up size wheels.
Drew Buck (Beret & stripy jumper) finished LEL 2013 just out of time but has completed it previously and numerous PBP on machines up to 100 years old.
One of the true legends of Audax. I felt mightily honoured to be stamping his Brevet Card on a recent 300km. He wasn't the last rider through my control, either.
Did I say ANYTHING goes ?
Not sure I'd wear a MAMIL CC jersey though....
Another legend (Scottish) is George Berwick ... one of whose 'recent' exploits was riding the last 500km of a 1500km event in Germany with a broken downtube. Sorted with a Coke tin and some zipties ... yacf thread here et seq.
He's no spring chicken, is our George and he reckons he has ridden on 'just about every road in Scotland' !
No one doubts nor disputes this statement - he probably has ...

I joined today and paid my fee so looking forward to joining in the fun . I don't think i will be doing the ride i posted about as its a bit soon . My knee hurt a bit to the end of 100 miles and my arse is telling me it didn't like that . 
Its a doable distance but no point trying to do it if its going to hurt me so i will skip this one . More 100 miles under my belt before i push myself to 130 .

Yes - indeed, the much loved "McNasty".
I've even met him south of the Border !

If only! I'm afraid it was only a 105km audax. Huge hill within the first 20 miles nearly killed me, and had to struggle round the remaining 45 miles with my legs gone.

You are probably best to read this reply from earlier in the thread, they are a piece of píss:
You could probably time how long you enjoy the views
