One of the irritating things about audax is that there isn't really any shame attached to not showind up in the same way as say, time trialling. I think most people who DNS an audax just fail to appear.
For anyone who hasn't done them, in a TT, if you send your apologies beforehand, that is recorded on the result sheet, so if you are seen to DNS without having told the organiser beforehand, it is seen as being a bit unsporting.
I've had to send apologies for three audaxes this month. I got refunds for two of them - which I wasn't expecting - but I hope it means the organiser had a reserve.
