Most likely a splinter must have stuck beneath the fabric of the tyre causing multiple punctures; Nevertheless it was wonderful and you guys brought all the fun with you. You could and should enjoy more of these in the future; In the meantime, hope you made a safe return home. Take care, see you soon Juliet! 😄 🌞 👋

The thing I love about audaxes is finding new routes near me that I'd not seen before. It's so easy to just retread the routes you know and like, and to find that there's a road that's even nicer is just fabulous. I've also discovered a fair few really lovely country pubs. Win win.

Loved the cunning ploy of “puncturing” near a pub, twice😂 Your laughing and smiling were fantastic, enjoyed your sense of humour👍 Can make any ride feel like a breeze😊 Thanks for sharing🤘🏼

First audax in your local area... I knew you'd be eating your own words. That's the beauty of riding audax as you discovered they really do explore and open your eyes to new lanes and ways to get about even in your local area. Aside from those punctures - you definitely enjoyed it!

Great to see Audaxing get a bit of exposure. If its any comfort I DNF'd an audax last weekend too. But had fun doing it.

Or dax and brave et but thankfully no one minds just enjoy the rides. Once though you achieved a super randonneur there is always the opportunity to become an anciens and do it all again on a trike

Done my first audaxes this year and really enjoyed them. Great way to get motivated. Much cheaper and more friendly than a sportive. Some use an e-brevet phone app to record the controls instead of a card. But why so many punctures?

@JulietElliottsChannel 10 ай бұрын

Agree it’s better than a sportive! I think it’s because sam borrowed the bike from someone and the tyres had perished. Not sure

I have liners in my tires with tubes. I haven't had a flat since I put them in. But I think if I hit something on the side wall it will puncture the tube!

@huntos83 10 ай бұрын

Looks fun. I’ve been tubeless for about 3 years and definitely never going back to tubes. Whatever the tubeless haters say, in my experience it is way, way more reliable than tubes. I count the distance between punctures in thousands of miles.

@@JulietElliottsChannel I'd love to have another go. Need more practice with sleep deprivation and heat training in case it's that warm again.

I was put off trying an audax after an experience a few years ago when a friend and I were doing a sportive and got a bit lost in a town. We stopped to ask a nearby group of cyclists if they were also doing the sportive, and the woman closest looked at me as if I'd insulted her. She said icily "No, we're doing an audax" and turned her back, and the rest of the group ignored us entirely. I was given the impression that audax people thought they were a cut above and it wasn't for the likes of us lowly sportive types! Perhaps we should try one and hope to meet a nicer bunch of people 😏. Glad you enjoyed yours though, despite those pesky inner tubes! 😊

I've given up tubed tyres, weekly punctures and sometimes multiple per day if e.g. glass stayed hidden in the tyre belting. One year on tubeless and never been stopped on a ride.

Frustrating...Had to change a girlfriends flat 3 times on a short ride before we finally discovered a very well hidden thorn that was imbedded in the tube. Not visible from the outside as it had worn off flush with the tire casing and the inside showed no evidence except to have firmly rubbed the inside for the 100th time and barely felt it's little point barely sticking out. Needed a microscope to have seen it. It was larger once removed but what a problem it was. Always find the corresponding place on the tire that matches up with the the damage on the tube and look and feel very hard.
