ADUAX

You'll be racing ahead at that pace Stas! Audax is very much about a leisurely pace, think sportive with more moustaches, recumbents and tweed.
Last year we all jumped on the train down to Stevenage, the start is a couple of minutes from the station.
Its a great event and great fun, get signed up!!!!!

Audax has a minimum and maximum time limit unlike sportives, The minimum time limit is calculated on distance x maximum speed of 30kph (18mph) but this does not take into account stops, so for a 100km ride you are not allowed to do any quicker than 3h 20mins.

If you turn up before a control officially opens you have wait to get your card stamped.

The minimum speed is 15kph around 9mph

As Dave said it is a fun day out and a lot cheaper than a sportive also a good introduction to Audax

And there's loads of food!!!

Hi Ian,

Have you still got the spare place free? I would be more than willing to take it! Offer is half petrol cost, and a post ride coffee/beer/narcotic?!!!!!

Credentials are not many!! Only got into Audaxing last year, but did the Norfolk Nips series and then the CAMBS300 (202 miles).

Let me know, also gonna have a crack on it on my single speed!

I assume you are on about the AAA, yes still available I think I left about 6am

The Stevenage event sounds fun - and a bit different from the usual Sunday club run.

Anyone planning to take the train?

I will be on the train at Sandy

It's a 10:00 start isn't it? So I guess the 09:08 from St Neots works for me.

I have a feeling we took the 0808 (from St Neots) train as its a 10-15 minute ride from the station plus you have to sign on and sit around discussing tweed and moustaches over coffee.

Thanks Dave. Bang goes the lie-in!

Its a long day, it was dark by the time I got back to Sandy last year. It is well worth it though, good day out and something different.

Thought I would bring this back to the top.
Im hopping on the 0815 train from Sandy (0808 fron St Neots).
Has anyone received their number and card? Can't remember if we collected them on the day last time.
