My first 600km Audax – Bhumibol Dam, Thailand
As I write this I’m still blown away that I pedalled 24,000 crank revolutions and covered over 384 miles in one 37 hour ride!! Will I ever get over it? This was my 39th Audax including 24 consecutive months of 200km+ each month and a thrice of 300km but for me, it would be my…
