I'm glad this one went better. I haven't done an audax for a while,
but I did enjoy those I did.

Some of you will remember me whinging about my first Audax last autumn.
Back then I was unsure whether I'd any more. Well on Sunday I did my
second event, a 200 from Cheadle. It was much better, met Martyn Bolt
another urc-er and another rider whom I had hoped to meet, if you are
reading it was a pleasure riding with you gentlemen. The ride started
off in snow which lasted for about 2 hours, the weather steadily
imporved to sunshine but remained cool all day. Tony B accompanied me
but after us missing a turn shortly after the start, we got separated
in the chase to catch up again. I feel bad about leaving you but you
survived - well done. I completed the ride at an average of just shy of
21kph, less than 10 hours which is just fine. The route was good, some
great country roads with little traffic, lots of riders and some good
company. This is how I had heard it would, much better than my first
audax last year. With Saturdays easy ride (but with great company) I
clocked up 220 miles for the weekend. Posted my entry for another 200
yesterday.

Glad you had a good time. :-)
Also good to hear the audax itself went well. As you may recall I
planned to do this one... but unfortunately had to withdraw as just
couldn't make my bike comfy. (bad bars, painful wrists. Spent Saturday
afternoon trying all sorts of positions and bike shops for some
Morphes, with no sucess)

Look forward to riding it as a perminant later in the season.

Good stuff, I really must work out a way of getting more miles in.

Just Do It! ;-)

Its the potential effect on the domestic harmony front of buggering off for
half of Sunday.

and I'm too idle to go out at night after I've cooked tea, eaten it and
sorted out the washing up.

Mrs MSeries is a gem when it comes to me getting cycling time. She does
not have an issue with me being out all day Saturday and Sunday so long
as I bring home the bacon, win the bread etc. so she can buy shoes and
hang out in coffee shops.

As I come home so drunk I couldn't see-o
I saw some boots, no boots should be there,
So I says unto me wife, tell this to me-o
How come the boots there, no boots should be there.
You old fool, you silly fool, can't you plainly see-o,
Nothing but a flower pot me mother sent to me-o.
Miles that I've travelled, a hundred miles and more-o,
Laces on a flower pot I never seen before-o.

The world's most prolific poet and composer, Anon. It's from a
traditional song called "Four Nights Drunk". There are many variations
of it; this particular one was recorded by Steeleye Span.
