Can someone expand on the Audax type ride, I understand its distance type event, non competitive? passage controls? do you have to join the club to take part, thinking of entering one as its close to home for a change

You'll have to take out temporary membership for the event itself, on top of the entry fee. You'll have to navigate from a route card, and there will be controls, either manned or info. There will almost certainly be excellent cake at the finish!

I've done one, really enjoyed it - cheap, cheerful and tons of em about.

Can't remember if we had a route, but then I always just follow someone with satnav. Nice people, non-competitive, low key - good fun, will deffo be doing more. And I think it's where you have to start if you harbour any ambitions of doing Paris-Brest-Paris - they do some monsterous great big ones. ๐Ÿ™‚

Glupton has done a few. He will hopefully be along in a minute with some info.
