that is cool Giant reached out. Im surprised they didnt offer you one of Blu's bikes to keep.

I think it speaks volumes when a designer/founder/company actually reaches out without some generic answer or motive. How’s the hamstring now after a few days from this video ?

Yay well done Liz 👏🏻

Hey Dan, just wondering why you don't use ERG mode for workouts on Zwift?

Nice move by giant that gives them a few bonus points Nice work on the bike Dan and Liz

definitely the longer segments at tempo/sweet spot are way harder mentally

I’ve done quite a few Alfreton Audaxes. Rosie’s used to be an old transport Cafe on the way to Gainsborough (now sadly closed down), which was often used as a checkpoint for these Audaxes, which is where the name comes from. I’ve not done this one, but I have done Roses to Wrags, which goes via Gainsborough to Wragby then back via Newark. There’s a 300k one that goes out towards Skegness and back, it’s called To the Chapel (Chapel St Leonard’s) if you fancy it! Some of the Alfreton Audaxes go west into the Peak District, with a bit more climbing.

I'm totally with you on the helmets. For me, it's a must. It baffles me when I see parents let their kids ride without them.

Belvita soft bakes - always on offer at Tesco @ £1.75 for 5. Individually wrapped, small and thin. 31g carbs, 9g sugar. Taste delicious too as they are soft and easy to eat.

great build for a crit bike

Where I used to live. There was a bike shop that wash bikes for 20. Well worth it for gravel season or cx riding And nice work on the house refresher Liz

could have sworn you got 3 new tri bikes but this is a safeplace 😂

Random comment but be good to see your take on the changes to the available cycling coverage in the uk, and the potentially detriment to the sport due to the impending changes (TNT sports)…. Great video as always, great mix of training and real world issues 😂

Most uses of the word 'tallboy' in a cycling video!

is that cow a him or her

cracking paint job on the canyon

Hi whats the color auf the frame? Looks Like Chameleon Lake Blue with Flash Silver? Thanks

Mini Soreen for me

Government in UK need to make helmets mandatory. It’s not rocket science… they literally save life’s.

Educational video….some people ride in miles (weird) riders make life harder in an Audax by loading the bike with as many bags as they have! All this aside it looks fun and not a bad day for it either. Good job mate 👍

Time to change the channel name to RandonneurDan. Hope you enjoyed your experience!

Nice

Good effort Dan especially this time of year.🥶👍

Solid work Dan. Looks to be fun

Well now I know what an Audax is! Looks fun.

I did my first audax last year around the New forest. I will definitely be doing more this year. Loved it

Nice one Dan! Congratulations! 🥂 you’re now officially a Randonneur 😎🤙. Complete a 300, 400 and 600 before November and you’ll be a Super Randonneur 😜. It’s a truly special community and I’m glad you’ve given it some exposure.

Well done Dan, top ride especially considering your recent dental and health issues. Really enjoyed the vid as well.

well done Dan your a Randouneer now. I did 200km brevet in august about the same time and elavation and about 65 miles in i was starting to feel it. like you said, its all part of the game, but I could pass on them as well

Re: Xmas jumper, we’ve only just changed over the Xmas duvet

Well done Dan thats a great achievement.

Well done! I'm into about 18 months since starting Audaxing. It's great! I struggled at first to get round. Now my biggest so far is 300km!

Poor Liz. Imagine having a camera thrust in your face every time you open your front door 😂

Dan, haven't you been ill and had a niggle ?

Nice 1 Dan. Glad you enjoyed it. You’re an Audaxer now..!!! Hope to see on another Audax some time. Thanks for the shout out. 👍👍👍

another one ticked off

Great to see you on the ride Dan , It was my 1st Adux as well and really enjoyed it

Sat watching this right now. Funny enough I have no top on as it gets bloody warm even with the fans on. I don't like all you posts but keeping it real is a nice touch.

A trip to the Range and no soft furnishings purchased is a win Dan.😬

#savethechristmaswreath

My only thought is...damn how can you use that much cream for a just one butt!!! Can you still sit on the bike or you slide out of it with that much lubricant? I'm on the same Butt'r 235ml tube since 3 years and I ride 12000km a year!😅

good to see you are both better, i will be looking for the video tomrrow Strava says ypu made it around 😂

I was just in the process of writing a comment about the wreath......

Would you use the catflap if you had a door(wo)man! Good luck with the Audax

Nice work Hope both of you are better

Is it normal to have to lock your front door with a key from the inside? What if it burns and you can't find the key? Only watched the first 60 seconds, so I might comment on bike related stuff later.

Sounds great! 🔥 We really appreciate your work 👍

glad your back, talk to BF Dan I would say shorter cranks it kind of does the same thing for your knees and Hamstring. He is proud of me😂

I prefer to drink my fuel (just find it easier) - i bulk buy Maltodextrine and Fructose powders and mix them myself in a tub at home to 1:0.75 and then can load the bottles with the "dose per hour" i want and simply add a electrolyte tablet as i go to each bottle. I also bought a little impulse sealer and some PP/PE bags - load them up and then seal. Easy and cleaner to carry and tear open like the real thing. There is also a good book called Feed Zone Portables - buy that make your own food and then use the pouches and impulse sealer. Label up and freeze stuff - job is a good one.
