yes

anyway, what would rich do?

why i should:

  • feel bad for audax pal who’d be doing it on his own (mike’s got a knee injury so i think he’s fucking it off) and it’ll also look well bad for penge who’d entered loads of folk who’ve since sacked it off
  • PBP pre-reg pretty much guaranteed, and if i don’t do it, it really fucks up this plan
  • weather looks fucking great
  • i wanna do it

why i shouldn’t:

  • could definitely use a rest
  • the possibility of packing it on at 300km in the middle of the night with no train stations open is kind of terrifying

It all depends on how I felt. I I had the prospect of a 256 mile ride and I’d been ill for a month, it would make me think twice. But if I’d ridden L-B-L and fucked around in the peaks with some bike wankers whilst ill, then it really depends how whether you feel totally drained by it, or if you could manage the 256 miles. Am I taking meds for this problem, do I need testosterone or HGH or EPO?

Also really wouldn’t feel shit sacking it off. Your mate would’ve done countless solo rides and what is an audax organiser realistically going to do, blackball Penge CC from all audaxes ever? No they’re not.

yes please

i’ll see how i feel tomorrow

don’t tell anyone but in hindsight i think i’d just had enough of the hills in the peaks rather than actually feeling ill and coughing my guts up, lol

Better

I guess Id just look at what you’ve got coming up the next few weeks…

you’ve been delaying your recovery/relax time each week for something else… be it a 200km, L-B-L, peaks… now this… you got owt coming up?

the weather is meant to be nice this weekend at least I think

LEJOG during the last two weeks of June. Nothing immediate.

Cycle now, recover later.
