Morgen Stund hat Gold im Mund …
Zur Arbeit radeln und Kilometer sammeln… und auf das 600er Brevet von Audax Suisse trainieren

Gavin is the only person I’ve ridden a whole audax with (in fact two) and this little zine is wonderful. We completed a biblical overnight 300 in Kent together (with mutual friend George) as well as the 400 which probably looms large in his view of 400s…

All The Things I Like About Audax

Digitally printed folding A3 zine about all the things I like about audax, and one thing I don't. Based on fifteen years experiences of audaxing and inspired by a talk I was invited to give at the 2026 Glasgow Zine Festival.

I've got a new cycling top for my birthday.
It's a bit....... bright!

Knowing people who do 600km brevet rides on the weekend really is an issue for me. I totally could do that! Maybe? Or should I block them on social media, so I don't go down that rabbit hole...

RRtY #audax 8 of a possible 12 done #BikeTooter ers.

A 200 to Sheringham Norfolk UK. Home of a launderette that boasts of having North Norfolk's largest duvet machine. (It's so Father Ted it hurts).

The sun came out for a bit while I sat by the sea and tried to guess the UK regional accents of promenading holiday makers. Lots of Brummies, not sure why. Maybe it's a coach trip from the Black Country.

The bike doesn't even need cleaning, that definitely wasn't the case in January.

Took a day off yesterday to complete a permanent 300 (out to Montgomery which has the best Spar I ever experienced) to keep my Super Randonneur hopes alive having quit my calendar 300 (but finished 400). Lovely day after some drizzly beginnings and a mechanical false start…

My body didn’t like the last stint into Poynton but I made it home after under my own power.

In a fit of minor madness I have entered a permanent BR300 on Friday in an attempt to make up for the calendar event I failed to finish in April. I think I’m nearly recovered from my successful BRM400 and it’s a flattish route with a minimum average of 14.3 km/h so should be doable. Day of leave, early start, back home before midnight. Still keen to complete my Super Randonneur this year, would be my first since 2015…

I’ll remember my DI2 cable tool this time ;-)

First ride of June. Done this one a few times now. Each time it gets a few tweaks. Very happy now with route down to Folkstone and back as far as Sittingbourne before it gets a bit meh. I'll have to have a think about that. Leaning towards sticking more to the north downs from Chilham instead. More climbing but better surroundings. I'll give that a go later this month. #audax #RRtY #audaxuk #cycling #biketooter #kent

Keine 24h später, sollte es dann auch wieder zurück gehen, allerdings über 600 km mit ein paar zusätzlichen Pässen..

Ich hatte mir von vornherein keinen Druck damit gemacht und wollte Mal gucken was nach der kurzen Erholung überhaupt noch geht..

Überraschung (für mich): Die Beine waren unerwartet gut! Knapp darüber eher weniger.. 🫣

Aber erstmal schön mit Rückenwind und in großer Gruppe (40-50) über venetianische Landstraßen und Gravel-Tracks gerauscht! 🤩

Kurz vor Verona ist dann der Front-Schaltzug im STI gerissen, und ich hab das Zeichen dankbar angenommen und bin mit 3 weiteren Randonneuren im Zug nach Hause gefahren.
Aber auch das war nochmal ne richtig tolle Erfahrung! 😊

So, endlich Mal den Haken an die 400 gemacht! ✅

Schöne Strecke, wirklich lange gebraucht, dafür richtig viel Randonneur-Spirit erlebt, inkl. zu zweit bei Dauerregen durchs nächtliche Etschtal und Powernap unter einer Brücke..
Aber eben auch sehr viel schöne Landschaft und trockene nächtliche Abfahrt, vom Brenner nach Sterzing auf fast leeren Straßen!
