I found there were generally two types of Audax riders. Those who could ride near the maximum allowed pace (approx 18kp/h), sleep for a few hours at appropiate times and those that rode at a slower pace but didn't really stop. One guy used to ride in his short sleeved polka dot jersey and 'sleep' standing up in phone boxes!<br />My only advice is if you have a kip for a few hours, take your shoes off! I slept in mine and woke up in agony with 500km still to ride :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
