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?

EDIT: Just checked the Audax UK website and these dates are for the UK only. Makes sense.
So only plus to say for the Auld Alliance is that it is good practice for PBP in that it is a evening start. If you're doing the 90hr PBP ride you'll start the Sunday evening.
The qualifying windows are specific to each country/region, we are fortunate here that we don't have any.
