What is Audax?

An Audax is a long-distance cycle ride that has to be completed within a set time limit, including any rest stops. It is non-competitive; the goal is completion. Audax rides may be from 50 km (32 miles) upwards, but generally the focus is on rides of 200 km (125 miles). See Audax UK for more information on what's involved.
