I'm sure it would be a great event. I've ridden in Gran Canaria this time of year a few times and it is a beautiful temperature. A good bit cooler in the hills than sea level. I think frost is rare but the nights can be quite chilly, inland. I once did a night ride and it was surprisingly cool. And really dark too - not much light inland and hardly any cars out after dark.
They use 'audax' as a general description of a long cycling event, it's not accredited by ACP or anything like that, you won't get any points for it.
The ferry timings mean that you have to really go to get round in what they call 'audax' time. Only a couple make it. eg the woman's winner (Lael) last year didn't. It's a bit harder than getting round a 200 before it gets dark..!
