purists will say that is the charm of audax ;)
Audax Club Hackney, Brixton and Kingston Wheelers run London audaxes. San Fairy Ann audaxes are nice and easily reach-able from London so do ACME.
You must ride calendar events for full value.
-
Kingston Wheelers events probably your best bet as they start from Raynes Park. There are a couple of others (a 600 I can't remember the name of now) that starts from Kings Cross
-
Depends how early you're willing to get up for a train to get to an 8 or 9am start...
-
There's two coming up that you should be able to do without a car:
https://www.audax.uk/event-details/10542-straight_outta_hackney
https://www.audax.uk/event-details/9980-brace_of_bramleys
I'm doing both of them (unless weather is totally shite in which case I won't). Get yourself signed up to either of them and drop me a PM if you want to ride together.
-
Echo what others have said, the tool on the AUK site should also let you search events within XXkm of [postcode] which is useful.
It's even possible to ride a super randonneur by only entering events that start from within the M25, if you get the bug.
-
I'm entering the Rowlands Ramble this weekend. 213k from Kingston / Surbiton.
Quite long, but it would tick your box.
Will be my first Audax event, so you wouldn't be the only newbie there.A question for the Audax veterans in this thread;
Usually on a long ride like this, I would stop a few times for coffee / food.
Should I plan to do that at Controls?
I'm a bit unclear if Control = 'stamp a ticket' or 'stop for cake'

Considering dipping my toes into audaxing...question I have for Londoners is how much activity is that's easily reachable from London. I like the idea of events that are reachable from central London without need for car and/or overnight stay in B&B and wondering if that's common?
