A piece of paper and cute Australian animal stamps? Yes please! I've never done a Randonneur ride so thought I'd have a go. The Australian Audax ride - the Ash Dash - meandered the Huon Valley for 207km and +4250 VM. Summer is on in Tassie and the days are loonnnggg. We had 13.5 hours to finish.
The day started out drizzly as we climbed amoung the clouds to Fern Tree and soon enough we were greeted by the sun. It was a good time gravel grinding (90% road) on my super epic Cervelo Aspero with a few mates not racing. We even had someone at aid stations with food and water, however, I was still stacked with snacks for the whole day.

Unlike most days, I did not freeze and I could eat because we was not holding a ridiculous race pace ... and we had a few chats. Woohoo! Pretty fun experience and good time out there riding about in the summer tassie sunshine with friends. Will there be more? Should I give a crack? The summer is quick in Tassie so use the days wisely! #teamdoubleaspero
