Audax Riders

Information

Audax rides are non-competitive long distance tours by bicycle, called "randonnees". The challenge of Audax is not in racing, but in riding at your own pace. Rides are open to all reasonably fit riders - non-Audax members are most welcome to join.

Comment by Garry Armsworth on December 15, 2012 at 1:56pm: Being the resident Audax statistician, in the end there were 66 riders, including the 3 who did the vollies ride which started on the previous Monday. Of these 36 successfully completed the ride according to the club rules. One or other completed the course but were outside the time limit. Chris Rogers, the principal organiser, put a large part of the attrition rate down to the atrocious weather rather than the terrain i.e. up to 500 km of grinding into a very strong headwind for some. In 2009, the field was initially limited to 50 but in the end Chris allowed all of those on the wait list to participate.

Comment by Neil Alexander on January 17, 2013 at 12:57pm: This is horrible. It seems, from news circulated on the Audax chat list, that the cyclist hit-and-run on Wednesday night at Ryde was an Audax Club member.

Comment by Si on January 17, 2013 at 12:59pm: Yep. A good riding buddy of mine. Not the best news to hear.

Comment by Michael S. (Boxhead) on January 17, 2013 at 1:47pm: Damn, that is horrible. I hope he recovers ok. He's a strong rider so hopefully that fitness will count for something now.

Comment by Robflyte on January 17, 2013 at 3:54pm: Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Comment by Neil Alexander on January 18, 2013 at 9:14pm: In Bright at the moment. It was not as hot here as in Sydney today but that wind was diabolical. Rode up Tawonga Gap around 1730 and it was all I could do to keep turning the pedals in the heat and the heart rate below max, even with a compact crankset. Ran out of water, too, by the top. Think I will try in the cool of morning from now on.

Comment by Adrian on January 30, 2013 at 11:47am: I'd love to but I'making it easy until I see my podiatrist next week!

Comment by Rob Berry on February 11, 2013 at 10:21am: Here is a way to bring peace and harmony to both the retro and cutting edge lovers amongst us: Firefly Titanium 650B Rando. Ti, 650B, fenders, hub dynamo, disc brakes, Campagnolo groupset... Pretty much perfect.
