Hello, Pete, and welcome to the Forum!

Congratulations on your new bicycle; I'll bet the very minutes are dragging by till it arrives (we all remember the feeling!).

Your new Audax looked wonderful in the eBay photos, and will look even better in your own garage and under you on those long Audaxes. Red bikes always work great!

I hope you'll favor us with some ride reports and of course, your own photos of this wonderful new-to-you steed. It sounds terrific and we're all excited for you -- thanks for sharing this moment with us all!

Best,

Dan.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

Jags - yes, I'm a regular audax rider, but generally have stuck to 200kms recently due to work getting in the way. Planning some bigger ones next year though, culminating in LEL.

Pete i was looking at a few Audex videos on utube seen a  great one on scotland, but man its hard going i dont know how you guys can ride 300km and 400km none stop .
when i get to arount 70 km  i ride on memory because the poor legs are crying for me to stop  ::)..
anyway pete dont forget to post a photo  of the new baby best of luck with it and your audex rides.
