I don't drive so use trains. Should I complain to AUK that no one volunteers to organise rides near me?
Maybe if you are bothered by the organisers rules how about volunteering yourself.
-
So by audax rules saying it's respectful to use mudguards they are saying I am not welcome unless I am willing to leave the day before for an audax and ride there and back and take more time from my family or change my car. A truly welcoming organisation.
LOL

This is becoming quite funny now. Maybe Google the 7 Ps before entering your next event.

It's appalling, isn't it? People volunteering to organise and run these events in their spare time. Creating these incredibly awkward rules which are impossible to overcome.

As has been explained more than once, that's not the reason.
they are saying I am not welcome
You'd be welcome, even with this shitty attitude.

This has to be one of the greatest posts the forum has ever seen, definitely one for the book.

Your local framebuilder should be able to help you out making and fitting some Rinko mudguards.

One more thing. A bike with guards won't fit in my car so I have s 4 o clock start to ride to dunmow. I don't want to ride there and back. 606km is enough.
That's the implication of the mudguard rule. Essentially I can't do another long audax because I am not changing my car so I can fit an "audax" bike in it. My old BMW will not be getting a roof rack either, it drinks enough petrol as it is. In fact since I don't race much any more and I won't be going to more audaxes my car is going to do even less than 3000 miles a year. I might just sell it.
That's why I am not looking forward to this now.

Sorry for the rant. I needed to say this.
