Licking my wounded pride over the ‘shameful’ abandoning of the LEL09, I decided to go back to Audaxing – and try to make it stick with my fixed gear. As a warm up, I did a 100 km ride – trying to go for speed. I was quite successful, except that the route was one of the very earliests I have created as a DIY and took me to places that were quite unsuitable for road bike riding. Overall I enjoyed it, but vowed to delete that route from my route schedule – just not a good one.
