"If you weren't a Steam enthusiast at the beginning of the ride, you're sure to return one."
What a promise! I hope I'll have enough time to stop and look at the Mallards and Bitterns of this world. I know those trains because they can sometimes be seen at Southall Train station.
The route going through Southall makes this my most local audax on the calendar. It's a brand new event also. I feel one has to ride ones local randonnee.
The most western control is Oxford and we 'visit' steam venues like Ruislip Lido, Didcot, Buckinghamshire, Southall, Chinnor & Princes Risborough, Cholsey and Wallingford Railway Centres.

Saturday will be dedicated to pre-audax rituals such as cleaning the bike, breaking something on the bike, getting tape and cable ties out, shopping for audax food, going to bed early which usually results in a disturbed sleep ... but ... it's the ritual.
Thank you to Tim Sollesse and team for putting on the Steam Ride day. I'm looking forward to it!
