Go the Distance!

Audax UK is one of the world's largest long-distance cycling clubs.  Audax UK events are modelled on rules set by Audax Club Parisien and focus on covering set distances within maximum and minimum time limits.  Organisers around the UK run events of various distances according to our rules; you can enter any of them via this website.  You can ride solo or with others, there are no organised groups.  Routes are designed to be simple and enjoyable, and some may be challenging.  There are no way-markers, but organisers will provide route instructions or GPS files.  We suggest you browse this website to familiarise yourself with AUK's ethos.  The three main formats of events that we offer are shown below.

Ride together

Calendar Events typically have between 20 and 150 riders. After a mass start, riders go at their own pace individually or in small groups. Distances vary from 50km to 1000+. Every year we have 100s of events. Follow the links for more details and the calendar of events

 

Ride when it suits you

Permanent Events are rides that you can start any time. You can ride on your own or with friends. Distances vary from 50km to 1000+ and there are hundreds of routes across the country, and a few overseas Follow the links for more details and the list of events

 

Ride your own route

DIY Events are rides where you design the route. You can ride on your own or with a group. You can choose any of the standard distances, and can record progress using gpx or by nominating controls. Follow the link for more information
