| The lead group in the 2009 version of the Cambridge CC organised 'End of Hibernation' 200km Audax. |
There is a growing interest in Audax riding within the club. An Audax is semi-competitive cycling event, the aim is to cycle over a defined route within maximum and minimum time limits. Easy you might think – but the routes are typically 200, 300, 400 or 600km long. It does not sound so easy now. There are also shorter 'fun' events of 50 to 100km.
Some intrepid (mad, foolish) completed the 1400km London-Edinburgh-London ride in 2001, 2005 and 2009!
The pinnacle of Audax achievement is to ride the 1200km Paris-Brest-Paris, which is held every four years. It is not the longest or the hardest but it is certainly the biggest with over 3500 riders starting in 2003. Two members completed the 1999 version of the PBP and two different riders completed the event in 2003 and several did the 2007 version.
