  • Thanks, will keep an eye out for those. Not sure how I feel about the Auld Alliance after the last one with it's 9PM start totally ruined me, but if needs must!

    Interesting to see that people go for course records during audax in different parts of the world. I've noticed quite a few people completing audaxes in America with a big emphasis of how quickly they completed them.

    Out of interest, how does it work with you having completed your PBP qualifiers out of the set time frames? I was under the impression you had to complete the qualifying rides in the following timeframes but maybe I've got it completely wrong or these are just the UK/Europe dates?

    • 200k: Sat 7 Jan - Sun 30 Apr
    • 300k: Sat 11 Mar - Sun 21 May
    • 400k: Sun 9 Apr - Sat 10 Jun
    • 600k: Sat 6 May - Sat 24 June

    EDIT: Just checked the Audax UK website and these dates are for the UK only. Makes sense.

  • Re. course records... I remember someone going for the "course record" at BCM a few years back... I think it was believed to be in the 24 hours ball park, but there is no official record as such... which is a bit of a shame for bods like me who always made a point of finishing an Audax first... probably the reason I no longer ride them... I am too competitive for non competitive events.
    However, I keep looking at the Pendle 600 and think I should have a go at it... even if I haven't cycled longer than 60 miles in a couple of years... anyone doing it next June?
