Since HTN, BBB, etc promotion seem acceptable, I thought I'd just mention my team's latest foray into the world of beards and mudguards (Mods, if it's an issue, please let me know…)

The Las Vegas Institute of Sport is organising its first Audax which starts at Long Ashton just outside Bristol this Sunday (28th March). We're keen though to make sure it fits in with our whole ethos so it'll be fun with brilliant routes and a guaranty of excellent cakes. Mudguards and beard not required 🙂

You can even enter on the day.
