Completed 314km Audax Sat.
Gruelling course from Musselburgh to England and back.
Not helped by the headwind heading South which lessened considerably on the way back North!!!
Started at 06:00 and finished at 21:30 with only one puncture thanks to a cattle grid.
The 400 may be a stretch too far this year.

After nearly doing myself in at Selkirk last weekend I have not learned my lesson, as BoW is now entered!
 
Mrs L says, "are you off yer head?"  

BOW Audax entered!

Fanatstic day of cycling.
 
Will see you in a couple of weeks in Selkirk Alan.
 
Just noticed on the Audax website that the BOW 200km is on this year,17th June, will be entering.

Audax invitation still stands....get well soon mate.....

Charlie....defo time to grow a beard and get Audaxing....speedy recovery.

Got a score to settle with Hardknott....had to walk between the left and right hairpins.
Can remember the descent being worse than the climb though!
