[RobC]

Anyone looking to show off their Majorca tan and free on May 13? How about a club run?

I could be up for this, although wouldn't plan to ride at same pace as you'd manage.

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

I may ride this with you Andy, talk this Sunday.

Anyone have any idea of the time it will take a non Pacer factoring in refreshment breaks? This could be a "gentle" entry into the lower orbit of Audax love

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.

Now that’s sound maths! I should have worked that out myself really 🚴‍♀️

I'll do this with you Scott, think Richard and Andy might be doing it as well

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 

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

[RobC]

I would argue that the spirit of Audax is eating crisps from your top tube bag. It's just that we only know Dave who does Audaxes.

I've just entered  - I can use this as a warm-up for the Bryan Chapman.

[Andy H]

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!
