    Well done on a great ride. I just did Mikes 600 Kirtons audax. Nice guy and well organised. Amazing effort by the organisers at the corby overnight stop. Probably my favourite Audax I've done.

      Yes Mike and Peter are a great pair who give up a lot time to organise these rides for us.
      I rode the Kirtons too, Scorchio and very windy

    Do you always start from Poynton? Where do i find out about your meets?

      @Bijou-Bob  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not all the rides start from Poynton.
      They are from the Audax Uk & Peak Audax websites.
      Look up Audax UK long distance cycling , there's lots of information about it on their website.
      Thanks for watching 👍🙂

      Don't know about that David 🤔
      I read it that you could choose either , both had the same controls.
      Mike mentioned to me also that you could go high or low.
      See you on the road 🙂
