Post by: RobC on April 24, 2023, 03:25:06 PM: Anyone looking to show off their Majorca tan and free on May 13? How about a club run?

Just try and catch up for the inevitable cake stops!!! ;D

As your Strava shows you've ridden 117 miles with neatly 17,000 ft of climbing in under 12 hours moving time. And this is about the same distance and a third the climbing I'd think you could comfortably do the route in 12 hours with 3 or 4 cake stops.

Post by: Andy H on April 28, 2023, 10:13:18 AM: As a comparison, the Tenby 200km in February was 3385m (11,000ft) and I was around that in under 11 hours but didn't faff about with cake stops!!

This is a bit against the spirit of Audax which seems to be a cake fest for most people ;D

I'm more than happy to enter into the spirit of it on the 13th

Post by: Andy H on April 28, 2023, 11:36:36 AM: I've also just entered. Cakes, crisps in top tube bag, baguette in jersey, Greggs sausage roll in shorts pocket ready for anything

Most of me weekends between now and July need to be back to back long rides, so will need to be out on club on 14th too! ;D
