600KM BIKE RIDE PART 2 – 2OOKM CASTLETON CLASSIC AUDAX

Day 2 of Kyle completing his 200km Audax. It’s been 2 years since my first ever Audax! Was lovely to re-visit this one, think Kyle would have enjoyed it more if he hadn’t ridden 350km the day before! But he’s a step closer to his Randonneur around the year so he’s happy now!

good morning everybody it is 6 no it’s 7:15 in the a.m. I’m at shenstone Village Hall for a 200 km aax it goes all the way up to Hope in the Peak District where there is an absolutely lovely Cafe so I cannot wait now I’ve got here nice and early because yesterday Kyle did 350 km absolutely smashed it and he’s on his way right in here so today he’ll be doing 250 km so that he has a 600k in the bag the reason he’s doing it is because to get your super Rondon Earth in aax in you have to do a 200 a 300 a 400 and a 600 km ride within the odax calendar that’s till the end of October so he said he’ll get his 600 in this weekend so it’s a very long ECA to this odax which is where you extend the event so he extended the 200 by 400 so I did get a call from him just as I was leaving saying can you bring the physio tape strapping tape so I don’t know how he is feeling maybe he’s got some sort of injury starting so I’m going to talk to him and say don’t risk injury because we got some trips coming up oh yeah and I’ve sacrificed an aox point for him because I was going to ride here and back and he was going to as well but then I said I’ll drive and then you can have a lift home cuz you’ve still done your 600k so that one point is not going on my Odo point so I’m not too happy about it I thought I recognized it here 2 years ago today I did my first ever odax here I did the 160 km darish DS one and I remember coming back and thinking oh I wish I’d done the 200 so yeah things have changed a bit since then BL in it Kyle has arrived hell how you feeling H I Won’t Say I’m 100% my knees a bit sh is it swollen no no it’s not swollen feels like it just last night I felt it when I went uphill and it twanged a little bit it’s not worth risking in no but Steve said just strap it off and stay seated all the Riders have set off I was like where’s Kyle he’s still inside drinking his coffee he’s not even got his root loaded up anyway the aim of today is to just get around we’re going to go nice and slow cuz Kyle’s got a bit of an injury bit worried about him anyway a fellow up there had a cracking idea he’s got a dog tracker that links to a Sim that links to a website so his wife can track him so he doesn’t drain your phone battery cuz I normally use WhatsApp um live location so I’m going to get one of them I’m going to get a dog tracker when I’m on my own we are up and the sun is out are you enjoying it or you not saw KN yeah don’t just be careful with your KNE got your strap on I don’t Advocate riding with an injury but he’s a determined one so let’s just hope he doesn’t turn into a full-blown injury right another feeling good you all right yeah been just a bit Z which I don’t expect right at control Point new1 AKA he’s tea shop at frog Hall we’ve got 97 Malones left to go right so I’ve got a little stamp on my bre it’s a lovely little it’s actually a very nice printed stamp with the address of the tea shop on so you know I won’t forget that Kyle is 450k in to his ride he’s struggling a little bit but we’ve just said it doesn’t matter how long it takes we’ll get to the end you all right Kyle 460k in now I can’t walk you sping your muet careful as precious cargo in there oh you gone for a corn fake sasses I love you yes you can do it K you’re doing so well I believe in you are you prepping for the par we did that last year no I’m just doing it cuz I’m an idiot
