Audax Alpine Classics

Last weekend up at Bright, someone asked how many Audax Alpine Classics I’ve ridden, and what distances they were.

Astounding both myself and those around me, last Sunday I completed the 200km 2015 Australian Audax Alpine Classic. A couple of people asked how many I’d done and thinking about it I wasn’t sure, at least two 200km versions, possibly a third, but I couldn’t be sure. Time to check the backlog of paperwork, email, old journal entries and photos. I found the old dates & times, then decided that each year from now I’d update the page:

year	distance	notes
2023	200km	11:42 – Buffalo, Mount Hotham, Dinner Plain
2022	200km	8:58 – DNF, 160km, turned around at Mt Beauty
2021	200km	12:47 – 4.30am start, hot weather & unfit
2020	200km	cancelled [2020-01-08 Wed] due to bushfires
2019	200km	11:40 – cool and rainy suited me
2018	200km	12:27 – sprained ankle and injured shoulder
2017	200km	12:04 – getting older and slower
2016	200km	11:50 – AWOL again, 5 minutes faster than 2015
2015	200km	11:57 – Unfit me, but the AWOL cruised
2014	130km	07:44
2013	140km	07:54 – Mt Buffalo x2
2012	??
2011	??
2010	??
2009	??
2008	140km
2007	130km	on the tandem
2006	130km	08:14 – Entered 200, pulled out at 130
2005	85km	05:37 – on the tandem
2004	200km
2003		event cancelled due to bushfires

Still a work in progress.

…The Site

Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you…

I experiment. I play. I write and I take pictures. Some of the site is organised around topics, other parts are organized by date, then there’s always the cross-references between them.

Its all been here a fairly long time. Like the papers on my desk, or the books on the bedside table, the pile just grew… and it all grew without much plan or structure. I try not to break URLs, so historical oddities abound.

Long ago it started as a learning experiment with a few static HTML pages, then I added a bit of server-side includes and some very ugly PHP. A hand-built journal/blog on top of that PHP, then a few experiments in moving to various static publishing systems. I’ve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years I’ve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remained… I never really liked jekyll and the ruby underneath always seemed so much black magic. So now the latest incarnation is Org mode and hugo.
