Sean Barker Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I only started to target this towards the end of May and with the Audax season ending in September I really didn’t have a lot of room to manoeuvre, so have been cranking them out over the summer. Today saw me completing my 16th 200km Audax in the last 33 days, which leaves me only 3 more 200km rides to complete the series (at least 50 x 200km Audaces in a season.) Another positive about finishing today's Audax is that that was my last Thursday Audax so am back with you guys on Thursdays. And after the next two weekends I’ll be back for the Sunday club runs.

DaveM Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Looking forward to having you back on the club runs Sean. I will be doing most of the Tuesdays myself now that the TT season is finished. Going to try and memorize some of Ivor's routes so that we can give him a break.
