WHAT IS AUDAX?! Full guide and tips on riding your first one
Рет қаралды 36,000
Audax rides are incredible! They are such good fun and great if you're wanting to build your endurance riding. So after a gazillion videos of me riding audax I realised I never filmed a video about what they are, how they work and how to get involved. So here you go....
G I V E A W A Y!!!

I rode two audax in my county, Indonesia, this year. The first was 200 km event. Due to COVID pandemic, I decided to ride alone for the whole course. I’ve done some 200 km ride before (my farthest ride was 220 km), so this was not a problem for me. But the second event, 300 km, was another beast. The first 200 was okay, but then the rain started pouring down, hard. At some 230 km (30 km of riding nonstop in the rain), I realized that it was too mentally hard for me. Almost cried, to be honest. Luckily, I encountered another lone cyclist. She was actually riding with her husband, but his front wheel was damaged early in the event, and couldn’t continue. We decided to ride together to the finish line, and we finished strong. Riding with other people in this kind of event, can really boost your mental strength.

Hi Katie, this just pinged up …I’m 64 & cycle annually around the Highlands for 4 days with a mate. He wanted to do something else this year, so signed us into MSR 2024. Being an ejit, I said why not🤷♂️, having not a clue what audax, Brevet or Randonnee were or mean. The event is in 6 weeks & I’m now shitting it & dead excited. Thanks for this report, it’s explained so much & helped in a million ways🚴♂️😱

Great Video. I did many Audax rides in the 1990's. Did a couple of super randoneurs and PBP in 1995. Then Kids and stuff got in the way. Started to get back into it this year, after years of serious running. Your videos are great to keep the motivation up, Looking forward to seeing more long distance rides.

Very clear explanation. A couple of points: first, I'd recommend newcomers starting out on rides in familiar territory; second, traditionally audax organisers have required entrants to have mudguards on their bikes although I think this is largely ignored nowadays but best check the small print; third, riding a longer distance than usual is also a mental as well as a physical challenge. Although LEL and PBP require entrants to qualify, there's an annual event in Belgium which does not. The route is along Belgium's borders and no need to enter 200 km or 400km audaxes beforehand; the Belgians just want your money (it costs less than 100 euros to enter).

I love the outtake... when you become an audaxer people say that to you a lot - "How far? What in a day!" Tips hmm... don't take it too seriously..."It's just riding a bike." I think my biggest tip would be, don't dive in and go far far beyond your capabilities. Build up slowly over time whether thats distance, climbing or both. Yes, come out of your comfortable zone, sure, but ease yourself in.

Nice video! You pretty much covered all the bases in a super casual and friendly way that only you can do. In the States audax Is governed by Randonneurs USA. You can become a member directly or as part of a club. For me the biggest challenge when I was a newbie was getting nutrition on the bike. It's the one thing that can ruin your ride super quick over long distances. Get that right and as long as you're in decent shape, you should get around the course within the time allotted.

You are correct that Audax never publishes ride times but if you aspire to and one day manage to ride Paris-Brest-Paris they do publish your ride times, but that event isn't run under the guidance of Audax which is why it's different.

Hi Katie, thanks for the giveaway :fingerscrossed:. I started my cycling journey just barely a year ago, and I'm hooked. However, I'm quite overweight. I am aware that you've lost a lot of weight through cycling, and it is very inspiring. My partner is so much more fit than me and I struggle to keep up on our workouts due to my extra weight. Do you think you could make a video about how difficult was it to cycle before you lost the weight and how things changed for you? I sometimes feel I will always be lagging behind and out of breath on climbs...

An Ebike is cheating. Why would you even want to do an Audax riding one? It defeats the whole purpose and spirit of the ride, that you are self sufficient and it is all your OWN effort. In any case the battery probably wouldn't last. I should imagine pedalling an Ebike with a dead battery wouldn't be much fun not that I've even tried as I would never ride an Ebike.

Katie, So self-sufficient? Does that mean if you had a mechanical issue and someone was riding with you, would they be able to help? For example, you may have already repaired a flat and don't have another spare tube, would you be able to use one that was handed to you by another rider? Thanks for the videos!

The self-support requirements mainly refer to banning external support crews and vehicles on the course or having them following you. Only at a controle can a personal assistant render aide like bring you food or clothes. While on the course you may accept assistance from other randonneurs in the event and you can go to bike shops or other businesses for what you need. In short, while part of the spirit of randonneuring is in being self-sufficient you don't have to do everything yourself. Check the audax rules for your organization.

Article 7 of the Audax Club Parisien (ACP) rules state the following: "Each rider must be self sufficient. No follow cars or support of any kind are permitted on the course. Personal support is only allowed at checkpoints. Any violation of this requirement will result in immediate disqualification." Any event sanctioned by the ACP, the international organization which approves brevets, must follow their rules. The rules are pubished online. it's best to become familiar with them before participating in events.

You've got me started! I've discovered the local Brevet and Permanente routes on Ride with GPS. It's all there. I ride them solo and without anything to record the results. The local club has responded to questions about routes although due to time constraints I'm never able to start with the group. It's been frustrating with extreme heat and humidity during the hours I have available. At times I've been right at the edge of heat exhaustion and actually developed a fear of this. At some point you have to ask yourself "is this fun?, is this worth the risk?" There you have it. My greatest fear.
