Beginning to get excited for the Plains 300 in a few weeks. Nothing like gathering in a car park at 2300 o’clock to ride to a fast food restaurant in Wales and back.

Here’s a video of the event from a few years ago when I rode it in 2015 (RIP Damon I miss you):

May have to break out the tangerine gilet again LOL (I’m riding on the left at the opening of the video with the retroreflective mudguards and the red helmet light)

Doing audaxes is why the CycleStreets app on Android defaulted to kilometres, and once I'd written the sat nav it said "Arrivée" and not something like "you have reached your destination.

I haven't ridden an Audax for a few years but I'm still a member of AUK and love the members magazine. Every ride report is either "I had a lovely day out on my bike" or "I suffered a physical and emotional crisis on this ride".

@wlukewindsor While we’re sharing #audax photos, here’s me at the end of Spurn Point 400 in 2015. The ride where my friendship with @wlukewindsor was solidified. #audaxuk #BikeTooter #cycling

Two more rides this month for the RRtY award (I'm doing two series worth of it simultaneously this time round)...

March RRtY Rides

Two more rides this month for the RRtY award. That’s six months done of this round of the series. The first was a modified version of an Audax UK calendar event I completed back in May 2013, the Hop Garden 200. Hop Garden 200k May 2013 Calendar Event Pruned Hop Garden 200k March 2026 DIY Not sure why but the original ride is logged in my RWGPS account as having been completed in April 2012. That does not match my ride history on the Audax UK website or my memory of it.

Been looking for these two photos from 2015, the picture of me looking awful is from the Plains 300, first time I spoke to @runpaintrunrun ❤️, and the two bikes are from the Spurn Point 400 where we rode through the night together after joining forces at the… Point (well close to it as the sea had taken it a few years before).

I’m riding the Plains 300 again this year, still stops twice at Dinky’s Diner.

@mejs When I was younger, fitter and slightly madder I used to regularly ride Audax events in England, but also occasionally in France & Belgium.

100km was my favourite distance although the longest event I did was 400km.

Last year (and in previous years) I volunteered as a helper in the London - Edinburgh - London 1200km international event. Now that's crazy but a lot of people do it!

This was a good ride but I think I’ll be riding a less aggressive bike for my next event (an overnight 300)!

Here’s a nice picture of a typical HQ at the arrivée and a famous fellow rider and also his more traditional bicycle as pictured at the start.
