Audax UK is the world's largest long-distance cycling club. Individual rides are non-competitive, although we set a (generous) time limit if you want to score points for our annual championships or qualify for awards. Above all though, audax is about enjoying cycling, in the company of others or solo, and our routes are designed to help you do that. We organise rides in three formats, described below

Ride together

Calendar Events are our scheduled rides, with group starts - typically between 20 and 150 riders. Distances vary from 50km to 1000+. Every year we have hundreds of events, starting all over the country. 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

Audax UK is affiliated to the world-wide Audax organisation, and Audax UK riders can take part in international classic rides, such as Paris-Brest-Paris, where over 5000 riders from all over the world participate on a 1200km course. We have our own classic - London-Edinburgh-London, the next edition of which is coming up in 2025

Audax UK AGM 2020

This year's AGM is to be held (probably as a virtual event) on Saturday 15 May 2021. Please see this article for more details

Audax UK Annual Awards

Although there will be no championship awards this year, we are still hoping to make awards in several other categories. Please see this news article for details, including how to make nominations

New to Audax? Audax UK is the world's largest long-distance cycling club, with a great range of rides from the short(ish) to the very (very) long. Find out what it's all about in New to Audax, then come and join us for a ride.

Although we have opened up some calendar events for entry based on expected lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, there will not be as many events and they might not take as many entries as usual. So you may also want to look at permanent and DIY rides.

This month's featured ride

Never further than 20km from home.
Louise Beasley

This month we have brought you a ride rather than a rider. This DIY route was actually completed back in  November by Louise but it seems very relevant again for anyone wondering how to complete a 200km ride within their "tier area".
