Someone in this group recently mention the above short audax, so I
thought I would try it.
I cycle the 9ish miles to the start in just over half an hour (via the
B2B). I then did the 56km (official) audax in about 3.5 hours (excluding
stops). I think the actual distance was 2-3km longer.
This was the first audax I have done, so I just followed other people
who knew what they were doing. (If you are reading this then thankyou).
I then decided to cycle home a longer route to do a metric century, so I
cycled back to Bristol via the B2B, and then across to the Pill path
beside the Avon, and onto Avonmouth bridge. According to my maths I hit
the metric century halfway across the bridge.
I then cycled through Avonmouth and up to the old Severn bridge along
the A403. I crossed the bridge on path on the south side, rode under the
motorway, and returned to England on the north side. I then cycled back
to Bristol and home.
I set a new personal distance record of 88 miles in one day. ( 96 miles
in 24hours if I count last nights commute home, but I think that's
cheating).
In the last ten miles I drank about 800ml of fruit juice just to keep going.
According to signs posted at the Severn bridge, they will be
periodically closing the paths over the bridge over the next year. They
imply they will only close one at a time, but it is worth noting.
I recently bought some new bar ends/ hand grips, and fitted them the on
Thursday. I found them really comfortable
