Yeah I'm not sure if the messaging system is working properly. I sent 3 PMs to various people and only heard back from one. Of course it could be no one likes me.

Couldnt edit mine in either, but see someone has done it for me. Cheers Ian
I mesaged "admin" Shaun. He has fixed it so I can edit mine again.
Off on Tuesday for next one with two other guys I have ridden Audaxes with taking a day off work to join me which surprised me,will be great not being Billy no mates for a change.
Out to Kenn near Clevedon and back using Old Severn Bridge and Avonmouth M5 bridges should be about 128 miles if we dont take the pretty route

Centuries ridden on rollers/turbo trainers/indoor velodromes do not count towards the challenge
Are you telling or asking?
Either way.. no I think not.

Is this a question or a statement? Either way yes. And no it doesn't matter if you do two in one month, you can't carry over.you miss a month you are out of the challenge, no exceptions for any reason.
I'm out of 2012 already.

Yes - I think so too. It seems to be a robot cutting random words from earlier in thread and re-posting them.

Another successfull ride today. Barry south Wales to the Drum and Monkey Pub in Kenn (between Clevedon and Yatton) bit of lunch in the pub then back. 131 miles via Magor over Severn and Avonmouth Bridges along Clevedon lane where a large deer dashed across the road just behind us. Had some company this time which made it a heap more pleasant than Billy no mates riding. Beer and food in Drum and Monkey were pretty good to.
Misty to start with but cleared by lunchtime into a pretty good day.

Did Aprils yesterday. Good to get it done early in the month. Did the Carmarthenshire Snapper 200KM Audax. Started / Finished at Bynea Cycle Club near Llanelli then used the coastal path to go around to Burry Port Harbour then on to Ferryside for a breakfast stop.
Meandered through Carmarthenshire up to Llandovery for lunch stop. Loads of people on two wheels at the cafe but mostly of the Harley Davidson variety
Out of Llandovery into the most scenic part of the route up arounfd Rhandymrwyn and Cwrt Y Cadno then meander by a different route back to the start.The organizer put on a picnic in a shady layby at the 150km point. Sandwiches cakes tea coffee and water resupply all included in the very small entry fee.
126 miles in total and a terrific day out in good company and perfect cycling weather ,cool but dry and light winds.
Anyone considering Audaxing give it a go.All you need is a bike you dont need incredible fitness the time limit for yesterday was 13 hours 20 for 200 kms,rides start at 50 kms up to 1400 for the elite.Fastest was probably in in 9 hrs something ,about 2 hours quicker than me. Theres allways someone doing a similar speed to you and riders usually form up into pairs or small groups of riders enjoying the day out , if you prefer to ride alone people will respect that and leave you get on with it. Membership is cheap and you dont need to join to do a ride (non members have to pay a £2 insurance .)

Nice one Banjo,
myself, rb58 & DeckerTim all did out first Audax last week. 200K Man Of Kent.
We was expecting a whole plethora of beards and sandals. What we got was some serious looking bikes and cyclists
. For £6.50 we got a nice route, free food & drinks at the start, at 2 controls (1 with bacon rolls ) and at the end. A thoroughly enjoyable day out.

Cheers Ian. Sounds like you had a great day. You see everything on audax rides from beards and sandals on 40 year old bikes. To youngsters on Carbon fiber fliers with everything in between including trikes,recumbents etc. PS some of the old beardy types are surprisingly fast (compared to me anyway ).
